            1 setstatus
            2 =========
            3 
            4 Description
            5 -----------
            6 Enables to set the status with dwm itself. No more xsetroot bloat!
            7 To change the status to `foo bar` execute:
            8 
            9     dwm -s "foo bar"
           10 
           11 You can set the status with this command even if dwm is already running as your
           12 wm. It will start a new process, set the status and exit. The parameter `-s` is
           13 not meant to be used at startup when you launch dwm as your wm.
           14 
           15 Piping into `dwm -s` is currently not supported but you can set the
           16 status to the output of any command by doing something like:
           17 
           18     dwm -s "$(run_command_which_outputs_the_status)"
           19 
           20 For example to set the status to the current date run:
           21 
           22     dwm -s "$(date)"
