# NAME
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
labwc - a wayland stacking compositor
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
# SYNOPSIS
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
*labwc*  [options...]
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
# DESCRIPTION
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Labwc is a wlroots-based stacking compositor for wayland.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
It is light-weight and independent with a focus on simply stacking windows
 | 
						||
well and rendering some window decorations. Where practicable it uses clients
 | 
						||
for wall-paper, panels, screenshots and so on.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
The compositor will exit or reload its configuration upon receiving SIGTERM
 | 
						||
and SIGHUP respectively.  For example:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
kill -s <signal> $LABWC_PID
 | 
						||
killall -s <signal> labwc
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Each running instance of labwc sets the environment variable `LABWC_PID` to
 | 
						||
its PID. This is useful for sending signals to a specific instance and is what
 | 
						||
the `--exit` and `--reconfigure` options use.
 | 
						||
 |
