NAME

SYNOPSIS

powerline-config [-pPATH]… tmux ACTION ( [-s |n )]
powerline-config [-pPATH]… shell ACTION [COMPONENT] [-sSHELL]


DESCRIPTION

Path to configuration directory. If it is present then configuration files will only be sought in the provided path. May be provided multiple times to search in a list of directories.
Display help and exit.

Arguments specific to tmux subcommand

If action is source then version-specific tmux configuration files are sourced, if it is setenv then special (prefixed with _POWERLINE) tmux global environment variables are filled with data from powerline configuration. Action setup is just doing setenv then source.
When using setup: always use configuration file sourcing. By default this is determined automatically based on tmux version: this is the default for tmux 1.8 and below.
When using setup: in place of sourcing directly execute configuration files. That is, read each needed powerline-specific configuration file, substitute $_POWERLINE_… variables with appropriate values and run tmux config line. This is the default behaviour for tmux 1.9 and above.
Display help and exit.

Arguments specific to shell subcommand
