KATRIABI(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Bestie, welcome to KATRIABI(1) from the General Commands Manual — this is the page for katriabi, aka Bar information for katriawm. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

katriabi

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so katriawm(1) creates a property on the root window. That property is holding some of katriawm's internal state, and it can be used to draw a bar or a “pager”. Iconic.

katriabi can monitor said property and create output that’s suitable for display in a bar. The vibe is: you should pipe the output of katriabi into the bar of your choice. Slay.

🚨 Real talk: there are no command line options. Not a single flag, bestie.

🌈 OUTPUT FORMAT 🌈

Currently, katriabi can only create output that can be fed to bevelbar(1). No other formats are supported — that’s the whole menu, fr fr.

katriabi uses the following bevelbar styles:

• 0 — Unselected layout icon.
• 1 — Selected layout icon. This is used to indicate the current monitor.
• 2 — Occupied workspace.
• 3 — Current workspace.
• 4 — Urgent workspace.
• 5 — Current workspace if urgent.

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

• DISPLAY — X11 display to connect to.

💜 LICENSE 💜

katriabi is released under the MIT license. See the accompanying LICENSE file. 💅
