Hyprland exposes 2 UNIX Sockets, for controlling / getting info about Hyprland
|
|
via code / bash utilities.
|
|
|
|
# Hyprland Instance Signature (HIS)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo $HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# /tmp/hypr/\[HIS\]/.socket.sock
|
|
|
|
Used for hyprctl-like requests. See the
|
|
[Hyprctl page](../Configuring/Using-hyprctl) for
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
basically, write `[flag(s)]/command args`.
|
|
|
|
# /tmp/hypr/\[HIS\]/.socket2.sock
|
|
|
|
Used for events. Hyprland will write to each connected client live events like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
`EVENT>>DATA\n` (`\n` is a linebreak)
|
|
|
|
e.g.: `workspace>>2`
|
|

|
|
| activewindowv2 | emitted on the active window being changed. | `WINDOWADDRESS` |
|
|
| fullscreen | emitted when a fullscreen status of a window changes. | `0/1` (exit fullscreen / enter fullscreen) |
|
|
| monitorremoved | emitted when a monitor is removed (disconnected) | `MONITORNAME` |
|
|
| monitoradded | emitted when a monitor is added (connected) | `MONITORNAME` |
|
|
| createworkspace | emitted when a workspace is created | `WORKSPACENAME` |
|
|
| destroyworkspace | emitted when a workspace is destroyed | `WORKSPACENAME` |
|
|
| moveworkspace | emitted when a workspace is moved to a different monitor | `WORKSPACENAME,MONNAME` |
|
|
| activelayout | emitted on a layout change of the active keyboard | `KEYBOARDNAME,LAYOUTNAME` |
|
|
| openwindow | emitted when a window is opened | `WINDOWADDRESS`,`WORKSPACENAME`,`WINDOWCLASS`,`WINDOWTITLE` |
|
|
| closewindow | emitted when a window is closed | `WINDOWADDRESS` |
|
|
| movewindow | emitted when a window is moved to a workspace | `WINDOWADDRESS`,`WORKSPACENAME` |
|
|
| openlayer | emitted when a layerSurface is mapped | `NAMESPACE` |
|
|
| closelayer | emitted when a layerSurface is unmapped | `NAMESPACE` |
|
|
| submap | emitted when a keybind submap changes. Empty means default. |`SUBMAPNAME` |
|
|
| changefloatingmode | emitted when a window changes its floating mode. `FLOATING` is either 0 or 1. | `WINDOWADDRESS`,`FLOATING` |
|
|
| urgent | emitted when a window requests an `urgent` state | `WINDOWADDRESS` |
|
|
| minimize | emitted when a window requests a change to its minimized state. `MINIMIZED` is either 0 or 1. | `WINDOWADDRESS,MINIMIZED` |
|
|
| screencast | emitted when a screencopy state of a client changes. Keep in mind there might be multiple separate clients. State is 0/1, owner is 0 - monitor share, 1 - window share | `STATE,OWNER` |

{{< hint type=warning >}}
|
|
A fullscreen event is not guaranteed to fire on/off once in succession.
|
|
A window might do for example 3 requests to be fullscreen'd, which would result
|
|
in 3 fullscreen events.

# How to use socket2 with bash
|
|
|
|
example script using socket2 events with bash and `socat`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
handle() {
|
|
case $1 in
|
|
monitoradded*) do_something ;;
|
|
focusedmon*) do_something_else ;;
|
|
esac
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
socat -U - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock | while read -r line; do handle "$line"; done
|
|
```
