  3dwm \- dynamic window manager
  4.SH SYNOPSIS
  5.B dwm
  6.RB [ \-v ]
  7.SH DESCRIPTION
  8dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
  9floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
 10environment for the application in use and the task performed.
 11.P
 12In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
 13area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
 14stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
 15resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
 16regardless of the mode selected.
 17.P
 18Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
 19tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
 20.P
 21dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
 22the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
 23selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused
 24window are indicated with a small point in the top left corner.  The tags which
 25are applied to one or more clients are indicated with a top line.
 26.P
 27dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.
 28Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title.
