.SH NAME
swww-init (DEPRECATED)
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBswww init\fR [--no-daemon] [--no-cache] [--format <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>]
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
\fB--no-daemon\fR
.RS 4
Don'\&t fork the daemon.\& This will keep it running in the current terminal.\&
.PP
The only reason to do this would be to see the daemon'\&s logs.\& Note that for
release builds we only log info, warnings and errors, so you won'\&t be seeing
much (ideally).\& This is mostly useful for debugging and developing.\&
.PP
.RE
\fB--no-cache\fR
.RS 4
Don'\&t load the cache \fBduring initialization\fR (it still loads on monitor
(re)connection).\&
.PP
If want to always pass an image for '\&swww'\& to load, this option can help make the
results some reliable: '\&swww init --no-cache && swww img <some img>'\&
.PP
.RE
\fB--format\fR <xrgb|xbgr|rgb|bgr>
.RS 4
Force the daemon to use a specific wl_shm format.\&
.PP
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.\&
.PP
.RE
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
.RS 4
Print help (see a summary with '\&-h'\&)
.PP
.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Initializes the daemon.\& This is used to be the recommended way of doing it, but
that is no longer the case.\& You should call '\&swww-daemon'\& directly instead.\&
