a tiny XCB floating window manager

Synopsis

xwm [-v]

Description

xwm is a tiny floating window manager implemented using the XCB protocol. Other than xcb-util-keysyms(1), xwm relies on third-party tools, which can be configured or expanded to meet the user's preference. The default configuration provides support and command aliases for the surf(1) web browser, st(1) terminal emulator and dmenu(1) application launcher.

Options

-v
