            1 externalpipe-signal
            2 ===================
            3 
            4 Description
            5 -----------
            6 
            7 Run an externalpipe command upon receiving the SIGUSR1 signal. This is helpful
            8 for supporting externalpipe scripts which work across multiple st instances.
            9 With the example script you can access a dmenu populated with strings from all
           10 open st instances.
           11 
           12 Apply this patch on top of st [externalpipe](/patches/externalpipe).
           13 
           14 Example
           15 -------
           16 Add the example script to your `$PATH`:
           17 - [externalpipe_buffer.sh](externalpipe_buffer.sh)
           18 
           19 Add to your `config.h`:
           20             char *externalpipe_sigusr1[] = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "externalpipe_buffer.sh st_strings_read"};
           21 
           22 Add to your WM as a hotkey:
           23             externalpipe_buffer.sh dmenu_type
           24
