NAME
       kanshi - dynamic output configuration

SYNOPSIS
       kanshi [options...]

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
           Show help message and quit.

       -c, --config <config>
           Specifies a config file.

       -l, --listen-fd <fd>
           Listen on the specified file descriptor for IPC.

DESCRIPTION
       kanshi is a Wayland daemon that automatically configures outputs.

       kanshi is configured with a list of output profiles. Each profile
       contains a set of outputs. A profile will be automatically activated if
       all specified outputs are currently connected. A profile contains
       configuration for each output.

       If kanshi receives a SIGHUP signal, it will reread its config file.

CONFIGURATION
       kanshi reads its configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kanshi/config. If
       unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config.

       An error is raised if no configuration file is found.

       For information on the configuration file format, see kanshi(5).
