2021-07-24common: standardize on -help optionIsaac Freund1-17/+46
Also: - Check for -help option *before* unknown options - Use common flags parsing code for riverctl - Add usage text to riverctl
2021-07-24Add -version flag to river, riverctl and rivertilenovakane1-1/+7
2021-06-05code: update to zig 0.8.0Isaac Freund1-4/+4
2021-04-27deps: update to latest zig-waylandIsaac Freund1-2/+2
2021-04-27river-options: remove protocolIsaac Freund1-63/+15
This protocol involves far too much accidental complexity. The original motivating use-case was to provide a convenient way to send arbitrary data to layout clients at runtime in order to avoid layout clients needing to implement their own IPC and do this over a side-channel. Instead of implementing a quite complex but still rigid options protocol and storing this state in the compositor, instead we will simply add events to the layout protocol to support this use case. Consider the status quo event sequence: 1. send get_option_handle request (riverctl) 2. roundtrip waiting for first event (riverctl) 3. send set_foo_value request (riverctl) 4. receive set_foo_value request (river) 5. send foo_value event to all current handles (river) 6. receive foo_value event (rivertile) 7. send parameters_changed request (rivertile) 8. receive parameters_changed request (river) 9. send layout_demand (river) And compare with the event sequence after the proposed change: 1. send set_foo_value request (riverctl) 2. receive set_foo_value request (river) 3. send set_foo_value event (river) 4. send layout_demand (river) This requires *much* less back and forth between the server and clients and is clearly much simpler.
2021-04-20river-options: rework, bump to v2Isaac Freund1-3/+6
Options are now all global but may be overridden per-output. If an output local value is requested but none has been set, the global value is provided instead. This makes for much better ergonomics when configuring layout related options in particular.
2021-03-27riverctl: Do not use std.debug.print()Leon Henrik Plickat1-2/+3
2021-03-27riverctl: Print error messages instead of error traces for common user mistakesLeon Henrik Plickat1-0/+29
2021-02-09riverctl: add mod-option commandLeon Henrik Plickat1-0/+2
2021-02-07riverctl: add -focused-output for option commandsIsaac Freund1-1/+6
This is more convenient for interactive usage and makes using the same bindings across multiple outputs easy.
2021-01-18riverctl: implement river-options interfaceIsaac Freund1-22/+57
To make this cleaner, introduce some arg-parsing infrastructure that will useful when porting riverctl to river-control-v2 in the future as well.
2020-12-13code: switch to custom wlroots/libwayland bindingsIsaac Freund1-6/+6
This is a big step up over @cImport() for ergonomics and type safety. Nearly all void pointer casts have been eliminated!
