      1 setstatus
      2 =========
      3 
      4 Description
      5 -----------
      6 Enables to set the status with dwm itself. No more xsetroot bloat!
      7 To change the status to `foo bar` execute:
      8 
      9     dwm -s "foo bar"
     10 
     11 You can set the status with this command even if dwm is already running as your
     12 wm. It will start a new process, set the status and exit. The parameter `-s` is
     13 not meant to be used at startup when you launch dwm as your wm.
     14 
     15 Piping into `dwm -s` is currently not supported but you can set the
     16 status to the output of any command by doing something like:
     17 
     18     dwm -s "$(run_command_which_outputs_the_status)"
     19 
     20 For example to set the status to the current date run:
     21 
     22     dwm -s "$(date)"
