Here is the full list of all the functions provided by libwm:

wm_init_xcb();
wm_kill_xcb();
wm_is_alive(wid);
wm_is_ignored(wid);
wm_is_listable(wid, mask);
wm_is_mapped(wid);
wm_get_atom_string(wid, atom, **value);
wm_get_screen();
wm_get_windows(wid, **list);
wm_get_focus();
wm_get_attribute(wid, attr);
wm_get_cursor(mode, wid, *x, *y);
wm_set_border(width, color, wid);
wm_set_focus(wid);
wm_set_cursor(x, y, mode);
wm_set_override(wid, mode);
wm_teleport(wid, w, h, x, y);
wm_move(wid, mode, x, y);
wm_remap(wid, mode);
wm_resize(wid, mode, w, h);
wm_restack(wid, mode);
wm_reg_event(wid, mask);

Their usage is specified in the wm.h header file, as it is quite small for now.

installation

libwm provides two files: libwm.a and wm.h.
You can build/install them as follows:

$ make
# make install

The makefile supports 2 macros: DESTDIR and PREFIX.

To link your program against it, compile it as follows:

$ cc pgm.c -lwm -o pgm
