5 * dynamic window manager is designed like any other X client as well. It is
6 * driven through handling X events. In contrast to other X clients, a window
7 * manager like dwm selects for SubstructureRedirectMask on the root window, to
8 * receive events about window appearance and disappearance. Only one X
9 * connection at a time is allowed to select for this event mask.
11 * Calls to fetch an X event from the X event queue connection are blocking.
12 * Due reading status text from standard input, a select-driven main loop has
13 * been implemented which selects for reads on the X connection and
14 * STDIN_FILENO to handle all data smoothly and without busy-loop quirks. The
15 * event handlers of dwm are organized in an array which is accessed whenever a
16 * new event has been fetched. This allows event dispatching in O(1) time.
18 * Each child of the root window is called a client, except windows which have
19 * set the override_redirect flag. Clients are organized in a global
20 * doubly-linked client list, the focus history is remembered through a global
21 * stack list. Each client contains an array of Bools of the same size as the
22 * global tags array to indicate the tags of a client. For each client dwm
23 * creates a small title window which is resized whenever the WM_NAME or
24 * _NET_WM_NAME properties are updated or the client is resized.
26 * Keys and tagging rules are organized as arrays and defined in the config.h
27 * file. These arrays are kept static in event.o and tag.o respectively,
28 * because no other part of dwm needs access to them. The current mode is
29 * represented by the arrange function pointer which wether points to dofloat
32 * To understand everything else, start with reading main.c:main().
