STUMPISH(1)						      General Commands Manual						       STUMPISH(1)

NAME

       stumpish - the StumpWM Interactive SHell

SYNOPSIS

       stumpish [[-e] command [args...]]

DESCRIPTION

       StumpISH is the StumpWM shell.  Use it to interact a running StumpWM instance.

       When run from a terminal with no arguments, stumpish accepts commands interactively and prints each result.

       If standard input is a pipe, stumpish executes any number of commands and prints the concatenated results.

       If  the '-e' option and one argument are given on the command line, stumpish reads any number of lines from standard input and uses them as
       the argument to the named command.  Otherwise, if one or more arguments are provided on the command line, the first is considered the  name
       of the command to execute and the remainder is concatenated to form the argument.

OPTIONS

       -r     Do not use readline, only available when run interactively.

       --help Show the help and exit.
