suckless-tools (tools from suckless.org)
This is a collection of small tools from tools.suckless.org. They're
bundled together in one build because they're so small and simple.
Included tools:
lsw - List titles of all running X windows to stdout, similar to ls(1).
lsx - List executables in a directory tree [1].
sprop - Simple X property utility.
sselp - Simple X selection printer.
ssid - Simple setsid replacement.
swarp - Simple pointer warping tool for X.
wmname - Print/set window manager name property of the root window [2].
xssstate - A simple tool to retrieve the X screensaver state.
Not included:
dmenu, farbfeld, ii, sandy, sent, sic, slock, svkbd, tabbed - These
are packaged separately on SlackBuilds.org.
9base, blind, lchat, quark, scroll, slstatus - Currently not available
on SlackBuilds.org. If you package any of these, please let me know so
I can update this README.
[1] lsx would conflict with the /usr/bin/lsx from Slackware's minicom
package. To avoid this, the suckless-tools lsx is installed as
/usr/bin/lsX. If you don't use XMODEM (or even know what it is), "rm
-f /usr/bin/lsx" before installing suckless-tools, and /usr/bin/lsx
will be a symlink to lsX.
[2] wmname has been packaged separately (as desktop/wmname). This build
gives you the same version of wmname, plus a man page for it, so the
separate wmname build isn't needed.
