WAYLAND-INFO(1)

💖 WAYLAND-INFO 💖

okay bestie, so this is wayland-info from the General Commands Manual — it's the little detective tool that tells you what your Wayland compositor is actually serving up. no cap, it's giving backstage pass energy 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

wayland-info — display information utility for Wayland 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wayland-info [option ...]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so wayland-info is a utility for displaying information about the Wayland protocols supported by a Wayland compositor. it's literally the "hey what's in here" button 🔍

you can use it to check which Wayland protocols and versions are advertised by the Wayland compositor. vibe check for your compositor, fr fr 👑

and it doesn't stop there — wayland-info also provides additional information for a subset of Wayland protocols it knows about, namely:

• Linux DMABUF
• presentation time
• tablet
• XDG output protocols

not it knowing the lore on those specific ones 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

wayland-info accepts the following line options:

• -h, --help — print a summary of command line options, and quit. your classic "wait what do i do" button, we've all been there 🙈
• -i, --interface _interface_ — only print information about the Wayland globals containing the string _interface_ in their name. it's giving filter, it's giving "i only want to see the ones with this word in them" 🎯

---

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

• WAYLAND_DISPLAY — the name of the display (socket) of an already running Wayland server, without the path. the directory path is <highkey>always</highkey> taken from XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. and if WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set, the socket name is "wayland-0". default queen behavior, periodt 💜
