.SH NAME
slstatus \- suckless status
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dwm
.RB [ \-dho ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
slstatus is a suckless and lightweight status monitor for window managers that use WM_NAME as statusbar (e.g. DWM). It is written in pure C without any system calls and only reads from files most of the time. It is meant to be a better alternative to Bash scripts (inefficient) and Conky (bloated for this use).
.SH OPTIONS

.SH CUSTOMIZATION

code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
