== NAME
the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for the
mark/goto command.

-replaced by the user input.
+You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands.
-== EXAMPLE
+== OPTIONS
+-s <socket>::
+Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this
+option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own).
+
+-F <format>::
+Every occurence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input,
+and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value is "%s".
+
+-l <limit>::
+Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters.
+i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user input reaches that
+length.
+
+-P <prompt>::
+Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field.
+The prompt string is not included in the user input/command.
+
+-f <font>::
+Use the specified X11 core font (use +xfontsel+ to chose a font).
+

+Show version and exit.
