guile-daemon-config

About

This is my configuration for Guile-Daemon. I use it for 2 purposes:

• As the OSD daemon, i.e. to display something (clock, sound volume,
etc.) on screen using [[https://github.com/alezost/guile-xosd][Guile-XOSD]].

• As a client for lircd (instead of irexec), i.e. to handle key
signals from my remote control.

Note: along with (xosd) module from Guile-XOSD, my guile modules are used in this config (they have (al ...) form).

Files

• is the "config" file itself (it is symlinked to
[[file:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/guile-daemon/init.scm]]). All this file does is: it adds [[file:modules]] directory (see below) to the Guile =%load-path=, and loads =(daemon-config)= module.

• directory contains several modules with the code I use
for Guile-Daemon. I split the code into several modules to make "logical pieces", but more importantly to speed-up the start of Guile-Daemon, as these modules are loaded *on demand*: only =(daemon-config)= is loaded on start-up, and it's just a wrapper that autoloads procedures placed in the other modules.

So, for example, (daemon-config osd sound) module is loaded only when osd-sound procedure is called, i.e., when I press one of my sound keys (bound to osd-sound ... — see below) first time.

• directory contains a couple of shell scripts that send
expressions to the Guile Daemon using =gdpipe= (it is a part of Guile-Daemon). This directory is placed in my $PATH so I can use such commands as =osd-text hello= or =osd-sound sset Master 3%+=. For example, I bind several keys to such =osd-sound= commands in my [[https://github.com/alezost/stumpwm-config][stumpwm config]]. The result may be seen in the gif demo above.
