wmctl is a small tool to get and control wayland compositors (e.g. sway, Hyprland). Currently it allows to get the information on connected outputs and to wait for any to get connected or disconnected. It acts as a compositor agnostic interface to be used in scripts.
wmctl doesn't have any build time dependency, other than a working Rust compiler and a working toolchain.
To build wmctl locally, run:
$ cargo build --releaseYou can get the connected outputs by running:
$ wmctl list-outputsYou can use wmctl for scripts that need to run when when an output gets connected
or disconnected by using the command wmctl wait-for-output-changes.
