Add a -1 option flag Allow slstatus to be used by programs that can grab status by calling an external program on a periodic basis (e.g. tmux)

Convert slstatus.1 to mandoc, simplify it and remove -h We also change the semantics of -v to only return the version information. There is now no need for usage() to exit with anything other than 1.

.Sh NAME
.Nm slstatus
.Nd suckless status monitor
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
Remove o-flag as it is redundant Even if we extend the flag to be an n-flag with a numerical input, we already have other Unix-tools to take care of us much more flexibly, e.g. with head(1) you can easily get the first 10 outputs with slstatus -s | head -n 10, but also e.g. discard the first one and then get the consecutive 10 outputs. For the X11-root-window-name, you can limit the runtime with timeout(1) or a comparable solution. This reverts commit fa8b939990ed0648f99b0cbeba4efed807160db3.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a suckless status monitor for window managers that use WM_NAME (e.g. dwm) or
stdin to fill the status bar.
By default,
.Nm
outputs to WM_NAME.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
Reduce -o | -n to -s What we really want is to either output to WM_NAME or stdout. If we want just one single line, we do slstatus | head -n 1.

.It Fl s
Write to stdout instead of WM_NAME.
Add a -1 option flag Allow slstatus to be used by programs that can grab status by calling an external program on a periodic basis (e.g. tmux)
2020-06-23 22:35:43 +02:00
.It Fl 1
Write once to stdout and quit.

.Sh CUSTOMIZATION
.Nm
added man page
2016-09-17 22:51:59 +02:00
can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
