NAME

     wayland-logout — generic logout utility for wayland compositors

DESCRIPTION

     wayland-logout is a compositor agnostic utility for simulating a logout with any wayland
     compositor.

     It sends a SIGTERM signal(3) to the running compositor PID which is obtained by looking at
     the environment variables.

ENVIRONMENT

     wayland-logout uses the WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variables to get the
     socket(2) corresponding to the compositor instance.

EXIT STATUS

     wayland-logout exits with non-zero if an error has occurred along with the error reasoning
     and exits with 0 on success.

EXAMPLES

     To kill the current compositor instance, run inside the compositor environment:
           $ wayland-logout

     A typical use case, to kill a specific compositor instance of another user (with uid=1002),
     run as the other user (or as root):
           $ env -i XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1002 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-4 wayland-logout
     or
           $ WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/run/user/1002/wayland-4 wayland-logout
