       Polybar  allows  external  control  through actions and commands.  Actions control individual modules and
       commands control the bar itself.

       The full IPC documentation is linked at the end of this document.

       The available actions depend on the target module.  For actions, the payload is either  a  single  action
       string or the module name, the action name, and the optional data string specified separately.

       In order for polybar-msg being able to send a message to a running polybar process, the bar must have IPC
       enabled and both polybar-msg and polybar must run under the same user.

polybar-msgcmdquit

              Hide the module named  mymodule.   The  first  variant  specifies  the  module  and  action  names
              separately, the second uses an action string.
