+swaymsg (1)
+===========
+
+Name
+----
+swaymsg - Send messages to a running instance of sway over the IPC socket.
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+'swaymsg' [options] [message]
+
+Options
+-------
+
+*-q, \--quiet*::
+	Sends the IPC message but does not print the response from sway.
+
+*-v, \--version*::
+	Print the version (of swaymsg) and quit.
+
+*-s, --socket* <path>::

+
+IPC Message Types
+-----------------

+	The message is a sway command (the same commands you can bind to keybindings
+	in your sway config file). It will be executed immediately.

+	Gets a JSON-encoded list of workspaces and their status.
+
+*get_outputs*::

+	workspaces, and so on.
