✨ swarp(1) — the suckless-tools era 💅

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about swarp — short for simple pointer warp, living in the suckless-tools collection. yes it's tiny. yes it's iconic. let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

swarp — a simple pointer warp 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

swarp [-v] xpos ypos

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so swarp is literally a generic pointer warping utility for X. that's the whole vibe.

what it does: the pointer gets moved to the indicated absolute position — like, the coords you hand it — and it gives focus to the root window. that's it. no cap, that's the entire job. and it does it flawlessly 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v — feed it this and swarp prints its version. that's the only flag, bestie, and she ate ⭐

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DISPLAY — swarp uses this to figure out which display to act on. so if you're on the wrong display, that's on you, not on her 🙈
