A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
Usage: niri [OPTIONS] [-- <COMMAND>...]
niri <SUBCOMMAND>
Subcommands:
msg Communicate with the running niri instance
validate Validate the config file
panic Cause a panic to check if the backtraces are good
completions Generate shell completions

Arguments:
[COMMAND]...
Command to run upon compositor startup
Options:
-c, --config <CONFIG>
Path to config file (default: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/niri/config.kdl`).
This can also be set with the `NIRI_CONFIG` environment variable. If both are set, the command line argument takes precedence.
--session
Import environment globally to systemd and D-Bus, run D-Bus services.
Set this flag in a systemd service started by your display manager, or when running manually as your main compositor instance. Do not set when running as a nested window, or on a TTY as your non-main compositor instance, to avoid messing up the global environment.
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
