You can then subscribe to events or send messages and receive their replies. use AnyEvent::I3 qw(:all); my $i3 = i3(); $i3->connect->recv or die "Error connecting"; say "Connected to i3"; my $workspaces = $i3->message(TYPE_GET_WORKSPACES)->recv; say "Currently, you use " . @{$workspaces} . " workspaces"; ...or, using the sugar methods: use AnyEvent::I3; my $workspaces = i3->get_workspaces->recv; say "Currently, you use " . @{$workspaces} . " workspaces"; A somewhat more involved example which dumps the i3 layout tree whenever there is a workspace event: use Data::Dumper; use AnyEvent; use AnyEvent::I3; my $i3 = i3(); $i3->connect->recv or die "Error connecting to i3"; $i3->subscribe({ workspace => sub { $i3->get_tree->cb(sub { my ($tree) = @_; say "tree: " . Dumper($tree); }); } })->recv->{success} or die "Error subscribing to events"; AE::cv->recv =head1 EXPORT =head2 $i3 = i3([ $path ]); Creates a new C object and returns it. C is an optional path of the UNIX socket to connect to. It is strongly advised to NOT specify this unless you're absolutely sure you need it. C will automatically figure it out by querying the running i3 instance on the current DISPLAY which is almost always what you want. =head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS =cut use Exporter qw(import); use base 'Exporter'; our @EXPORT = qw(i3); use constant TYPE_COMMAND => 0; use constant TYPE_GET_WORKSPACES => 1; use constant TYPE_SUBSCRIBE => 2; use constant TYPE_GET_OUTPUTS => 3; use constant TYPE_GET_TREE => 4; use constant TYPE_GET_MARKS => 5; use constant TYPE_GET_BAR_CONFIG => 6; use constant TYPE_GET_VERSION => 7; use constant TYPE_GET_BINDING_MODES => 8; use constant TYPE_GET_CONFIG => 9; our %EXPORT_TAGS = ( 'all' => [ qw(i3 TYPE_COMMAND TYPE_GET_WORKSPACES TYPE_SUBSCRIBE TYPE_GET_OUTPUTS TYPE_GET_TREE TYPE_GET_MARKS TYPE_GET_BAR_CONFIG TYPE_GET_VERSION TYPE_GET_BINDING_MODES TYPE_GET_CONFIG) ] ); our @EXPORT_OK = ( @{ $EXPORT_TAGS{all} } ); my $magic = "i3-ipc"; # TODO: auto-generate this from the header file?
