In `i3 4.16`, `i3-msg` can be used with the message type `subscribe`
and has the ability to monitor for responses until killed. This adds
support for both to swaymsg.
If the JSON array of event types is malformed or contains an invalid
event, sway will send a response with `success` set to `false`. If
swaymsg sees this, it will not display the failure and exit.
If the `subscribe` event is successful, swaymsg will wait for the first
response and display that instead of the success message. If
`-m/--monitor` is given, swaymsg will continue monitor for responses
until killed or a malformed response is received.
For the `subscribe` event, the responses will always be printed as JSON.
If `-r/--raw` is given, the JSON will not be pretty printed, which may
be preferred when monitoring due to there being multiple responses.
Example: `swaymsg -t SUBSCRIBE -m "['window']"`
When running swaymsg -v, the version returned is actually the version of
swaymsg itself, yet the message displayed was "sway version <version>".
This can create confusion if users update sway and swaymsg but don't
restart sway, then use swaymsg to check the version.
This patch changes the wording to be "swaymsg version <version>"
instead, and likewise for swaybar.
To get the version of a running sway instance, users should run swaymsg
-t get_version.
It's better to use DT_RPATH dynamic section of the elf binary to store
the paths of libraries to load instead of overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for the whole environment, causing surprises. This solution is much more
transparent and perfectly suitable for running contained installations
of wayland/wlroots/sway.
The code unsetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD was also deleted as
it's a placebo security at best - we should trust the execution path
that leads us to running sway, and it's way too late to care about those
variables since we already started executing our compositor, thus we
would be compromised anyway.
- Make sure CMake always finds absolute paths for Cairo, Pango and GdkPixbuf
- Add forgotten json-c include path to swaymsg/CMakeLists.txt
- Disable -Werror because of assert warnings
- Add correct /proc/pid/file path for FreeBSD
- Use libepoll-shim on FreeBSD
- Only use Linux capabilities on, well, Linux
Calling `exit` in sway_terminate prevents sway from correctly shutting
down (freeing data, cleanly terminating the ipc server, etc.).
A better way is to exit straight away if the failure occurs before
`wlc_run` and use sway_abort as usual if it occur when wlc is running.
Using 'flag' results in duplicate code paths for short and long options.
This broke the -q short option in swaymsg, because there was:
{"quiet", no_argument, &quiet, 'q'}
Which will set quiet to 'q' and return 0, not 'q'.
