NAME

       labwc - a wayland stacking compositor

SYNOPSIS

       labwc [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for wayland.

       It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows well and
       rendering some window decorations. Where practicable it uses clients for wall-paper,
       panels, screenshots and so on.

       The compositor will exit or reload its configuration upon receiving SIGTERM and SIGHUP
       respectively.  For example:

           kill -s <signal> $LABWC_PID
           killall -s <signal> labwc

       Each running instance of labwc sets the environment variable `LABWC_PID` to its PID. This
       is useful for sending signals to a specific instance and is what the `--exit` and
       `--reconfigure` options use.
