+# Example Scripts
+
+The scripts here are examples of how you can automate interesting things with the wayvncctl IPC events.
+
+## event-watcher
+
+This is a pretty simple example that just demonstrates how to tie the
+`wayvncctl event-receive` event loop into a bash script. It logs when clients
+connect and disconnect.
+
+## single-output-sway
+
+This is more purposeful, and implements an idea for multi-output wayland
+servers, collapsing all outputs down to one when the first client connects, and
+restoring the configuration when the last client exits.
+
+The mechanism used to collapse the outputs depends on the version of sway installed:
+
+- For sway-1.7 and earlier, the script just temporarily disables all outputs
+  except the one being captured. This moves all workspaces to the single
+  remaining output.
+
+- For sway-1.8 and later, the script creates a temporary virtual output called
+  `HEADLESS-[0-9]+' and then disables all physical outputs, which moves all
+  workspaces to the virtual output. On disconnect, all original physical
+  outputs are re-enabled, and the virtual output is destroyed.
