.TH RIOW 1
.SH NAME
riow \- keyboard-controller for rio(1)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B riow
[
.I -s label
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Riow
provides keyboard controlling for
.IR rio (1)
in the manner of
.IR i3 ,
.I sway
and
.IR ratpoison .
It does so by working with
.I /dev/kbdtap
(see \fIrio\fR(4)) and
.IR /dev/wsys .
.I Riow
outputs the current desktop number onto fd 3, which can be used by programs like
.IR bar (1).
.SS Running
A minimal example of running
.I riow
with status output to
.IR bar (1):
.EX
	#!/bin/rc
	</dev/kbdtap riow >/dev/kbdtap |[3] bar
.EE
Example of running
.I riow
with other programs handling input:
.EX
	#!/bin/rc
	</dev/kbdtap ktrans -G |
		reform/shortcuts |
		riow >/dev/kbdtap |[3] bar
.EE
Both examples assume putting the rc pipeline into a script and executing
it with
.IR window (1)
if they are required to start using
.I riostart
script.
