wf-shadow(1) "wf-shadow" "wlroots Utilities"
# NAME
*wf-shadow* — An instant-replay solution for Linux-based operating systems running
a wlroots Wayland compositor
# SYNOPSIS
*wf-shadow* _OPTION_ [_OPTIONS_...]
# DESCRIPTION
*wf-shadow* is a script written in order to fill the void in instant-replay
software for Wayland, specifically wlroots compositors. It uses wf-recorder(1)
and wofi(1) in order to accomplish the task.
# OPTIONS
*-s, --start* [_MONITOR_]
Starts a wf-shadow instance on monitor number _MONITOR_, if no _MONITOR_
is specified, then use monitor #1.
*-r, --record* [_MONITOR_]
Record the last few moments of video using a wofi(1) menu.
This will use the same _MONITOR_ number as any running session of
*wf-shadow*.
*-e, --end* [_MONITOR_]
End the current instance running on monitor _MONITOR_.
*-a, --audio* _DEVICE_
By default, *wf-shadow* enables the -a option of wf-recorder(1). This
option is used in order to set the pulseaudio/pipewire-pulse device that is
recorded by *wf-shadow*.
*-V, --video* _DEVICE_
This option is passed directly to wf-recorder(1)'s _-d_ option.
*-v, --verbose*
Show the output of wf-recorder(1), ffmpeg(1), and wofi(1)
*-h, --help*
Show a simple help menu
# ENVIRONMENT
*WF_SHADOW_DIR*
The path to the directory used to save clips.
*WF_SHADOW_FORMAT*
The date(1) _-d_ format used by *wf-shadow* to save clips.
*WF_SHADOW_SAVE*
The bash(1) command to run to get the save file for clips. The output of
the command is used as the path. Overrides *WF_SHADOW_DIR* and
*WF_SHADOW_FORMAT*.
*WF_SHADOW_CONFIG*
The path to the configuration file used by *wf-shadow*.
See *CONFIGURATION* for how to configure *wf-shadow*.
# CONFIGURATION
The configuration file takes the form of a bash(1) script. This file is sourced
after default variables are set. Use standard bash variable definitions in order
to set either environment variables found in *ENVIRONMENT*, or the following
variables.
*MONITOR*
The monitor number to use to start, end, or record on. Default is 1.
*AUDIO_DEV*
This variable is the same as what is passed to _-a_. See *OPTIONS* for
more information.
*VIDEO_DEV*
This variable is the same as what is passed to _-V_. See *OPTIONS* for
more information.
*VERBOSE*
This variable is non-empty if verbose output should be enabled. Same as
_-v_.
# EXAMPLES
*wf-shadow* _-s_ _1_
Start a *wf-shadow* session on monitor #1.
*wf-shadow* _-r_ _1_
Show a wofi(1) menu of time intervals to save as a clip for the
*wf-shadow* session on monitor #1. Fails if no such session exists.
*wf-shadow* _-e_ _3_
End the *wf-shadow* session running on monitor #3. Fails if no such
session exists.
*wf-shadow* _-s_ _2_ _-V_ _/dev/dri/renderD128_ _-v_
Start a *wf-shadow* session on monitor #2, using /dev/dri/renderD128 as
the video encoder. Print verbose output.
