mstatus ======= `mstatus` is a minimal status bar intended for the DWM window manager but which also works on other window managers; I use it on Sway, for instance. The status bar is comprised of a sequence of “blocks” which can be created, modifed, and removed at will by writing commands to a named pipe. For usage instructions see the `mstatus(1)` manual page. This can either be done by running `man -l mstatus.1`, or `man mstatus` if you have already installed the program. Online documentation is also available [here][1] Installation ============ Assuming you have cloned the repo, you can install the status bar and manual page in two commands. ```sh $ make $ make install # Will require root permissions ``` If you are installing `mstatus` for usage in DWM, then the installation is slightly different: ```sh $ make HAS_DWM=true $ make install # Will require root permissions ``` [1]: https://thomasvoss.com/man/mstatus.1.html
