  herbstluftwm 0.9.5                               2022-10-17                                    HERBSTCLIENT(1)

       Sends a COMMAND with its (optional) arguments ARGS to a running herbstluftwm(1) instance via Xlib. If
       COMMAND has an output, it is printed by herbstclient. If output does not end with a newline, then a
       newline is added to improve readability.

       See herbstluftwm(1) for a list of available COMMANDs and their ARGS.

       If --wait or --idle is passed, then it waits for hooks from herbstluftwm. The hook is printed, if it
       matches the optional FILTER. FILTERs are regular expressions. For a list of available hooks see
       herbstluftwm(1).

       DISPLAY
           Specifies the DISPLAY to use, i.e. where herbstluftwm(1) is running.

       Returns the exit status of the COMMAND execution in herbstluftwm(1) server.

       0
           Success.

       other
           Failure. See herbstluftwm(1) for a list of error codes.
