the imv-msg(1) girlies' handbook — utility for sending commands to a running imv instance 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

imv-msg — Utility for sending commands to a running imv instance ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so bestie, picture this: you've got imv open, it's serving main character energy, and you want to tell it to do something without touching it. that's literally what imv-msg is for. 🫶

imv-msg is a tool to simplify the sending of commands to a running instance of imv. Given an instance's pid it opens the corresponding unix socket and sends the provided command. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

imv-msg <pid> <command>

👑 AUTHORS 👑

imv-msg is written and maintained by Harry Jeffery <me@harry.pm> 💌

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • imv(1) — the icon itself, periodt 🌟
💀 reminder: that <pid> has to be the pid of the instance you're actually tryna talk to, and <command> is the command itself. type it right or it's giving nothing.

anyway that's the whole page, babes. manual source/version and date check: this lovely little doc is dated 12/14/2025, and it belongs to the IMV-MSG(1) manual. mwah, bye 💋
