Description

anybar_rs is a command-line app for controlling the macOS Anybar application.

Installation

  • Download the latest version here
    • unzip, then copy the binary into your $PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
  • Alternatively:
    • install Rust and Cargo. Using rustup.rs is the easiest way to do this
    • run cargo install anybar_rs
  • The binary should now be available to use. To check, run anybar_rs --help.

Building from Source

  • Clone this project
  • Run cargo build --release from the project root
  • The binary will be available as target/release/anybar_rs
  • Copy it into your $PATH.

Usage

By default, anybar_rs assumes that Anybar is bound to localhost on UDP port 1738. Call it like so:
anybar_rs [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS:
-p, --port Set destination UDP port. Input must be 0 – 6553, and defaults to 1738

ARGS:
COMMAND The command you wish to send to Anybar

Where COMMAND is one of the following:

  • white
  • red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • green
  • cyan
  • blue
  • purple
  • black
  • question
  • exclamation
  • quit

Exit codes

Being a stateless protocol, UDP provides no mechanism for checking whether its datagrams arrive.

  • If the UDP datagram is succesfully sent, anybar_rs will exit with code 0.
  • Unknown flags, options, or an unknown command will print the usage and exit with code 1.
