4 * dynamic window manager is designed like any other X client as well. It is
5 * driven through handling X events. In contrast to other X clients, a window
6 * manager selects for SubstructureRedirectMask on the root window, to receive
7 * events about window (dis-)appearance. Only one X connection at a time is
8 * allowed to select for this event mask.
10 * Calls to fetch an X event from the event queue are blocking. Due reading
11 * status text from standard input, a select()-driven main loop has been
12 * implemented which selects for reads on the X connection and STDIN_FILENO to
13 * handle all data smoothly. The event handlers of dwm are organized in an
14 * array which is accessed whenever a new event has been fetched. This allows
15 * event dispatching in O(1) time.
17 * Each child of the root window is called a client, except windows which have
18 * set the override_redirect flag. Clients are organized in a global
19 * doubly-linked client list, the focus history is remembered through a global
20 * stack list. Each client contains an array of Bools of the same size as the
21 * global tags array to indicate the tags of a client. For each client dwm
22 * creates a small title window, which is resized whenever the (_NET_)WM_NAME
23 * properties are updated or the client is moved/resized.
25 * Keys and tagging rules are organized as arrays and defined in the config.h
26 * file. These arrays are kept static in event.o and tag.o respectively,
27 * because no other part of dwm needs access to them. The current mode is
28 * represented by the arrange() function pointer, which wether points to
29 * dofloat() or dotile().
31 * To understand everything else, start reading main.c:main().
