Hyprland exposes two powerful sockets for you to use.
The first, socket1, can be fully controlled with `hyprctl`, see its usage
[here](../Using-hyprctl).
The second, socket2, sends events for certain changes / actions and can be used
to react to different events. See its description [here](../../IPC/).
## Example script
This bash script will change the outer gaps to 20 if the currently focused
monitor is DP-1, and 30 otherwise.
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
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
```
