Plumber

Pass messages between applications. Designed to use with my build of ST.

Description

This program is inspired by the right click to plumb patch for the Simple Terminal.

I started using the patch with surf (lighweight suckless browser) as my plumb command, but after looking at the Plan9 plumbing page, I decided to make my own personal version.

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/8dcc/plumber
$ cd plumber
$ make
...

$ sudo make install
...

Usage

Note that the commands on the right are the default ones but can be changed from src/config.h
