SYNOPSIS

       wayfire    [-c,    --config    config_file]   [-B,   --config-backend   config_backend]   [-d,   --debug]
               [-D, --damage-debug] [-h, --help] [-R, --damage-renderer] [-v, --version]

DESCRIPTION

       wayfire is a wayland compositor focusing on modularity  and  extensibility  by  providing  a  small  core
       compositor  implementation  with  all major functionality being provided by plugins.  The default plugins
       provide 3D effects similar to compiz, such as 3D cube, wobbly windows, blur, fish eye, etc.

       The optional flags are described as follows:

       -c, --config config_file

               Start wayfire with an alternative configuration file.  The default configuration file is searched
               first     in     the     ${WAYFIRE_CONFIG_FILE}     environment      variable,      or      paths
               ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/wayfire.ini, ${HOME}/.config/wayfire.ini.

       -B, --config-backend config_backend

               Specify config backend to use.

       -d, --debug

               Enable debug logging.

       -D, --damage-debug

               Enable additional debug for damaged regions.

       -h, --help

               Print a short help message.

       -R, --damage-renderer

               Rerender damaged regions.

       -v, --version

               Print the version.
