This patch currently supports the following requests:
* Run custom commands with arguments (similar to key bind functions)
* Get monitor properties
* Get all available layouts
* Get available tags
* Get client properties
* Subscribe to tag change, client focus change, and layout change,
monitor focus change, focused title change, and client state change
events
This patch includes a dwm-msg cli program that supports all of the
above requests for easy integration into shell scripts.
The messages are sent in a JSON format to promote integration to
increase scriptability in languages like Python/JavaScript.
The patch requires YAJL for JSON parsing and a system with epoll
support. Portability is planned to be increased in the future.
This patch is best applied after all other patches to avoid merge
conflicts.
