dwm is a minimalist dynamic window manager for the X Window System developed by Suckless that has influenced the development of several other X window managers, including xmonad[6] and awesome.[7][8] It is externally similar to wmii, but internally much simpler. dwm is written purely in C for performance[9] and lacks any configuration interface besides editing the source code.[10] One of the project's guidelines is that the source code is intended never to exceed 2000 SLOC, and options meant to be user-configurable are all contained in a single header file.[8]
