NAME

xtc - xchar taskbar ((xtb) controller

SYNOPSIS

 xtc command ...
 xtc -l

DESCRIPTION

Controls xtb by setting the _XLS_COMMAND property of xtb's toplevel window to 'command ...'.

Currently xtb understands the following property values:

      autoraise [delay]
      config
      dump              dumps most of the task list
      DUMP              dumps the whole task list
      exit
      left
      lower char
      picture [index]
      raise [-n] char
      restart
      right

The 1st word can be abbreviated to 3 letters.

With -l, the X clients are listed (char, id, instance, class, icon) in alphabetical order of chars (not taskbar order). No command is sent to xtb.

DEVELOPMENT

If more than one instance of xtb is running, the desired instance can be selected with -i:

    xtc -i instance command ...

or by running xtc under the name xtc1 for xtb1, or xtc2 for xtb2, etc.
