NAME

       i3-input - interactively take a command for i3 window manager

SYNOPSIS

       i3-input [-s <socket>] [-F <format>] [-l <limit>] [-P <prompt>] [-f <font>] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       You can press Escape to close i3-input without sending any commands.

OPTIONS

       -s <socket>
	   Specify the path to the i3 IPC socket (it should not be necessary to use this option, i3-input will figure out the path on its own).

       -F <format>
	   Every occurence of "%s" in the <format> string is replaced by the user input, and the result is sent to i3 as a command. Default value
	   is "%s".

       -l <limit>
	   Set the maximum allowed length of the user input to <limit> characters. i3-input will automatically issue the command when the user
	   input reaches that length.

       -P <prompt>
	   Display the <prompt> string in front of user input text field. The prompt string is not included in the user input/command.

       -f <font>
	   Use the specified X11 core font (use xfontsel to chose a font).

       -v
	   Show version and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Mark a container with a single character:

	   i3-input -F 'mark %s' -l 1 -P 'Mark: '

       Go to the container marked with above example:

	   i3-input -F '[con_mark="%s"] focus' -l 1 -P 'Go to: '

ENVIRONMENT

   I3SOCK
       i3-input handles the different sources of socket paths in the following order:

       o   I3SOCK environment variable

       o   I3SOCK gets overwritten by the -s parameter, if specified

       o   if neither are available, i3-input reads the socket path from the X11 property, which is the recommended way

       o   if everything fails, i3-input tries /tmp/i3-ipc.sock

       The socket path is necessary to connect to i3 and actually issue the command.

NAME

       cstartend - cWnn Startup and Termination

DESCRIPTION

       1.     Startup of cserver
	      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	      To start up cWnn, first, you need to start the cserver.  Type the following command at the C Shell prompt:
		   %  cserver  <CR>

	      The  default  path of cserver is "/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/".  If the user has not set this path, he can either set it and type the com-
	      mand directly, or type the full pathname of cserver while executing this command.

	      cserver will only be started up once.  You may confirm the existence of cserver by using the "cwnnstat" command.

       2.     Startup of client module, cuum
	      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	      After starting cserver, the cWnn client module "cuum" may be started up.

	      To start "cuum", type the following command at the C Shell prompt of a Chinese window:
		   %  cuum  <CR>

	      To activate other input environments, you may use the "-r" option of the "cuum" command together with the default path of that envi-
	      ronment.	For example, to activate Pinyin input environment, do the following:
		   %  cuum  -r	/usr/local/lib/wnn/zh_CN/rk_p  <CR>

	      The default path for "cuum" is
	      "/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/".	 Many  cuum's  may be started at the same time on different windows.  Each of them will be registered as a
	      client at the cserver.

	      After a startup message, the client module, cuum, is ready to be used.  To enter the input mode, press ^.
	      To leave the input mode, press ^ again.
	      To confirm the existence of cuum, you may also use ^.

       3.     Termination of cuum
	      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	      In order to terminate a client process, press ^D.

	      The cserver will save all the usage frequency files and dictionaries of the particular client and terminate the  connection  between
	      itself and that client.

       4.     Termination of cserver
	      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	      To terminate the cserver, type the following command:
		    % cwnnkill	<CR>

	      If some other clients still exist, a message will be displayed.  In this case, you have to termiante all other client modules before
	      you can terminate the cserver.

NOTE
