awww-pause(1)               General Commands Manual              awww-pause(1)

NAME
       awww-pause

SYNOPSIS
       awww pause

OPTIONS
       -a,--all
           Send this command to all active awww-daemon namespaces.

       -n,--namespace <namespace>
           Which wayland namespace to send this command to.

           You can specify this option multiple times to send commands to
           multiple namespaces at once: awww pause -n <namespace1> -n
           <namespace 2>.

           This affects the name of the awww-daemon socket we will use to
           communicate with. Specifically, our socket name is
           ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}-awww-daemon.<specified namespace>.socket.

           Some compositors can have several different wallpapers per output.
           This allows you to differentiate between them. Most users will
           probably not have to set anything in this option.

       -h, --help
           Print help (see a summary with '-h')

DESCRIPTION
       Toggles the pause state of the daemon. A animating gif will become
       frozen on the last rendered frame until the command is run again.

       Note that this will only pause the animation rendering of the daemon.
       It will still respond to awww client commands.
