- .SH NAME
- dwm \- dynamic window manager
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B dwm
- .RB [ \-v ]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B dwm
- is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
- modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
- use and the task performed.
- .P
- In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
- column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
- stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are
- managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
- freely.
- .P
- Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
- time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
- several views.
- .P
- It consists of a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
- input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
- focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
- displaying the tags and the window title.
