NAME
       wmiir - The wmii 9P filesystem client

SYNOPSIS
       wmiir [-a <address>] {create | ls [-dlp] | read | remove | write}
       <file>

       wmiir [-a <address>] xwrite <file> <data> ...

       wmiir -v

DESCRIPTION
       wmiir is a simple 9P filesystem client which ships with wmii, and
       connects to its virtual filesystem by default. wmiir is most often used
       to query and issue commands to wmii, both from the command line and
       from its sh-based configuration scripts.

ARGUMENTS
       -a     The address at which to connect to wmii.

COMMANDS
       create <file>
              Creates a new file or directory in the filesystem. Permissions
              and file type are inferred by wmii. The contents of the standard
              input are written to the new file.

       ls [-dlp] <path>
              Lists the contents of <path>.

              Flags:

               -d     Don't list the contents of directories.

               -l     Long output. For each file, list its permissions, owner,
                      group, size (bytes), mtime, and name.

               -p     Print the full path to each file.

       read <file>
              Reads the entire contents of a file from the filesystem. Blocks
              until interrupted or EOF is received.

              Synonyms: cat

       remove <path>
              Removes <path> from the filesystem.

              Synonyms: rm

       write <file>
              Writes the contents of the standard input to <file>.

       xwrite <file> <data> ...
              Writes each argument after <file> to the latter.

ENVIRONMENT
       $WMII_ADDRESS
              The address at which to connect to wmii.

       $NAMESPACE
              The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.
