8 i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar
12 *i3bar* [*-s* 'sock_path'] [*-b* 'bar_id'] [*-v*] [*-h*]
16 i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every 'bar' configuration block.
18 Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.
24 *-s, --socket* 'sock_path'::
25 Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.
27 *-b, --bar_id* 'bar_id'::
28 Specifies the bar ID for which to get the configuration from i3.
31 Display version number and exit.
34 Display a short help-message and exit
38 *i3bar* displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing
39 workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by i3status(1) or
40 similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.
42 i3bar supports colors via a JSON protocol starting from v4.2, see
43 http://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
49 Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the commandline
50 contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the X11 root
55 Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar manually.
57 Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User’s Guide.
61 +i3status(1)+, +j4status(1)+ or +conky(1)+ for programs generating a statusline.
63 +dzen2(1)+ or +xmobar(1)+ for similar programs to i3bar.
