  4.SH SYNOPSIS
  5.B dwm
  6.RB [ \-v ]
  7.SH DESCRIPTION
  8.B dwm
  9is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and floating
 10modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
 11the application in use and the task performed.
 12.P
 13In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
 14column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
 15stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
 16resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
 17regardless of the mode selected.
 18.P
 19Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
 20tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
 21tag.
 22.P
 23.B dwm
 24contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode, the
 25title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The tags of
 26the focused window are highlighted with a small point.
 27.P
 28.B dwm
 29draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.
 30Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title.
