== NAME

== SYNOPSIS
i3-input [-s <socket>] [-p <prefix>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]
i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]
== DESCRIPTION
@ -17,19 +17,28 @@ i3-input is a tool to take commands (or parts of a command) composed by
the user, and send it/them to i3. This is useful, for example, for the
mark/goto command.
The -F option takes a format string. In this string, every occurence of %s is
replaced by the user input.
== EXAMPLE
------------------------------------------------
i3-input -p 'mark ' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '
i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '
------------------------------------------------
== ENVIRONMENT
=== I3SOCK
If no ipc-socket is specified on the commandline, this variable is used
to determine the path, at wich the unix domain socket is expected, on which
to connect to i3.
i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:
* I3SOCK environment variable
* I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified
* if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11
property, which is the recommended way
* if everything fails, i3-input tries +/tmp/i3-ipc.sock+
The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.
