labwc - a wayland stacking compositor
.P
.SH SYNOPSIS
.P
\fBlabwc\fR  [options.\&.\&.\&]
.P
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for wayland.\&
.P
It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows
well and rendering some window decorations.\& Where practicable it uses clients
for wall-paper, panels, screenshots and so on.\&
.P
The compositor will exit or reload its configuration upon receiving SIGTERM
and SIGHUP respectively.\&  For example:
.P
.nf
.RS 4
kill -s <signal> $LABWC_PID
killall -s <signal> labwc
.fi
.RE
.P
Each running instance of labwc sets the environment variable `LABWC_PID` to
its PID.\& This is useful for sending signals to a specific instance and is what
the `--exit` and `--reconfigure` options use.\&
