.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
\fB-a\fR,\fB--all\fR
.RS 4
Send this command to all active `swww-daemon` namespaces.\&
.PP
.RE
\fB-n\fR,\fB--namespace\fR <namespace>
.RS 4
Which wayland namespace to send this command to.\&
.PP
You can specify this option multiple times to send commands to multiple
namespaces at once: `swww kill -n <namespace1> -n <namespace 2>`.\&
.PP
This affects the name of the `swww-daemon` socket we will use to
communicate with.\& Specifically, our socket name is
\fI${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}-swww-daemon.\&<specified namespace>.\&socket\fR.\&
.PP
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.\&
.PP
.RE
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
.RS 4

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Kills the daemon.\& This is the recommended way of doing it, since we wait to make
sure the socket file was deleted, thus confirming the daemon exited.\&
.PP
Note that sending SIGTERM to the daemon would work correctly, but sending
SIGKILL would make daemon leave behind the socket file.\& This is not a big
problem; it would only cause a warning to be printed next time the daemon is
initialized.\&
