swww-daemon(1)              General Commands Manual             swww-daemon(1)

NAME
       swww-daemon

SYNOPSIS
       swww-daemon [-q|--quiet] [-f|--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>] [--no-cache]

OPTIONS
       -f,--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>
           Force the daemon to use a specific wl_shm format.

           IMPORTANT: make sure this is a value your compositor actually
           supports! 'swww-daemon' will automatically select the best format
           for itself during initialization; this is only here for fallback,
           debug, and workaround purposes.

       --no-cache
           Don't search the cache for the last wallpaper for each output.
           Useful if you always want to select which image 'swww' loads
           manually using 'swww img'

       -q,--quiet
           Makes the daemon only log errors.

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

       -V, --version
           Print version

DESCRIPTION
       The swww-daemon will run continuously, waiting for commands in
       ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket (or
       /tmp/swww/swww-${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}.socket, if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not
       set). The daemon will take care of both creating and deleting that file
       when it is initialized or killed.
