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

NAME
       swww-init (DEPRECATED)

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

OPTIONS
       --no-daemon
           Don't fork the daemon. This will keep it running in the current
           terminal.

           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.

       --no-cache
           Don't load the cache during initialization (it still loads on
           monitor (re)connection).

           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>'

       --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.

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

DESCRIPTION
       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.
