Remove 'help' command and clean up help output
The redundant "help" command is now hidden from the wayvncctl UI. This also moves event description help text to: wayvncctl event-receive --show=<event-name> Signed-off-by: Jim Ramsay <i.am@jimramsay.com>pull/218/head

Use the `wayvncctl` utility to interact with this control socket from the
|
||||
command line.
|
||||
|
||||
The `help` command can interactively query the available IPC commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ wayvncctl help
|
||||
Commands:
|
||||
- help
|
||||
- version
|
||||
- event-receive
|
||||
- set-output
|
||||
- get-clients
|
||||
- get-outputs
|
||||
- disconnect-client
|
||||
- wayvnc-exit
|
||||
|
||||
Run 'wayvncctl command-name --help' for command-specific details.
|
||||
|
||||
Events:
|
||||
- client-connected
|
||||
- client-disconnected
|
||||
- capture-changed
|
||||
|
||||
Run 'wayvncctl help --event=event-name' for event-specific details.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And give descriptions and usage for specific commands:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ wayvncctl set-output --help
|
||||
Usage: wayvncctl [options] set-output [params]
|
||||
|
||||
Switch the actively captured output
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters:
|
||||
--switch-to=...
|
||||
The specific output name to capture
|
||||
|
||||
--cycle=...
|
||||
Either "next" or "prev"
|
||||
|
||||
Run 'wayvncctl --help' for allowed options
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the `wayvnc(1)` manpage for an in-depth description of the IPC protocol and
|
||||
the available commands, and `wayvncctl(1)` for more on the command line
|
||||
interface.
