  2.SH NAME
  3dwm \- dynamic window manager
  4.SH SYNOPSIS
  5.B dwm
  6.RB [ \-v ]
  7.SH DESCRIPTION
  8.B dwm
  9is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
 10modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
 11use 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 needs most attention at a time, whereas the
 15stacking column contains all other windows in a stack.  Dialog windows are
 16managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
 17freely.
 18.P
 19Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
 20time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
 21several views.
 22.P
 23.B dwm
 24has a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
 25input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
 26focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
 27displaying the tags and the window title.
