SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
slstatus is a small tool for providing system status information to other programs over the EWMH WM_NAME property of the root window (used by dwm(1)) or standard input/output. It is designed to be as efficient as possible by only issuing the minimum of system calls required.
By default, slstatus outputs to WM_NAME.
