Hyprland exposes two powerful sockets for you to use.
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
The first, socket1, can be fully controlled with `hyprctl`, see its usage
2024-03-17 13:44:39 +01:00
[here](../Using-hyprctl).
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
The second, socket2, sends events for certain changes / actions and can be used
2024-03-17 13:44:39 +01:00
to react to different events. See its description [here](../../IPC/).

## Example script
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
This bash script will change the outer gaps to 20 if the currently focused
monitor is DP-1, and 30 otherwise.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
function handle {
if [[ ${1:0:10} == "focusedmon" ]]; then
if [[ ${1:12:4} == "DP-1" ]]; then
hyprctl keyword general:gaps_out 20
else
hyprctl keyword general:gaps_out 30
fi
fi
}
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock" | while read -r line; do handle "$line"; done

```
