awww-query1

Usage

Options

-a,--all

Send this command to all active awww-daemon namespaces.

-j,--j

Print the information in json format.

-n,--namespace <namespace>

Which wayland namespace to send this command to.

You can specify this option multiple times to send commands to multiple namespaces at once: awww query -n <namespace1> -n <namespace 2>.

This affects the name of the awww-daemon socket we will use to communicate with. Specifically, our socket name is ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}-awww-daemon.<specified namespace>.socket.

Some compositors can have several different wallpapers per output. This allows you to differentiate between them. Most users will probably not have to set anything in this option.

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

Overview

Asks the daemon to print output information (names and dimensions).

You may use this to find out valid values for the <awww-img --outputs> option. If you want more detailed information about your outputs, I would recommend trying something like wlr-randr.

Output format

Currently, awww query prints information in the following format:

NAMESPACE: OUTPUT: SIZE, scale: SCALE, currently displaying: IMAGE_OR_COLOR

where SIZE is in the format WxH (eg.: 1920x1080), SCALE in "scale: NUMBER", and IMAGE_OR_COLOR in

Json format

The json format will print information like so:

{
"NAMESPACE": [<LIST OF OUTPUTS>]
}

Where each output in the list is in format:

{
	"name": <NAME>,
	"width": <WIDTH>,
	"height": <HEIGHT>,
	"scale": <SCALE>,
	"displaying": {
		"image" OR "color": <PATH/TO/IMAGE> OR <COLOR IN HEXA>
	},
}
