--
-- Provides a handleEventHook that implements window swallowing.
--
-- If you open a GUI-window (i.e. feh) from the terminal,
-- the terminal will normally still be shown on screen, unnecessarily
-- taking up space on the screen.
-- With window swallowing, can detect that you opened a window from within another
-- window, and allows you "swallow" that parent window for the time the new
-- window is running.
--
-- __NOTE__: This module depends on @pstree@ to analyze the process hierarchy, so make
-- sure that is on your @$PATH@.
--
-- __NOTE__ that this does not always work perfectly:
--
-- - Because window swallowing needs to check the process hierarchy, it requires
--   both the child and the parent to be distinct processes. This means that
--   applications which implement instance sharing cannot be supported by window swallowing.
--   Most notably, this excludes some terminal emulators as well as tmux
--   from functioning as the parent process. It also excludes a good amount of
--   child programs, because many graphical applications do implement instance sharing.
--   For example, window swallowing will probably not work with your browser.
--
-- - To check the process hierarchy, we need to be able to get the process ID
--   by looking at the window. This requires the @_NET_WM_PID@ X-property to be set.
--   If any application you want to use this with does not provide the @_NET_WM_PID@,
--   there is not much you can do except for reaching out to the author of that
--   application and asking them to set that property.

-- $usage
-- You can use this module by including  the following in your @~\/.xmonad/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Hooks.WindowSwallowing
--
-- and using 'swallowEventHook' somewhere in your 'handleEventHook', for example:
--
-- > myHandleEventHook = swallowEventHook [className =? "Alacritty", className =? "Termite"] [return True]
--
-- For more information on editing your handleEventHook and key bindings,
-- see "XMonad.Doc.Extending".
