AlexandClaude Opus 4.8 a3b39cfcf6 docs(man): backfill man pages with wiki-only info (source-of-truth pass)
Port information that previously lived only in the GitHub wiki into the
authoritative scdoc man pages, so the man pages become the single source
of truth for module documentation.

33 man pages enriched (options, format replacements, actions, style
selectors, troubleshooting and implementation notes). Additions were
verified against the source; stale/incorrect wiki entries were
deliberately not ported. All pages still compile with scdoc.

# NAME
waybar - JACK module
# DESCRIPTION
The *jack* module displays the current state of the JACK server. It supports both
the JACK2 <https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2> and PipeWire <https://pipewire.org/>
implementations of the JACK API.
PipeWire users are advised to run at least v0.3.57; earlier versions cause the
Waybar client to hang indefinitely if the server shuts down while the module is
running.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *jack*
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: *{load}%* ++
The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
*format-connected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the module is connected to the JACK server.
*format-disconnected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the module is not connected to the JACK server.
*format-xrun*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used for one polling interval when the JACK server reports an xrun.
*realtime*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: *true* ++
Option to drop real-time privileges for the JACK client opened by Waybar.
*tooltip*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: *true* ++
Option to disable tooltip on hover.
*tooltip-format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: *{bufsize}/{samplerate} {latency}ms* ++
The format of information displayed in the tooltip.
*interval*: ++
typeof: integer or float ++
default: 1 ++
The interval in which the information gets polled.
*rotate*: ++
typeof: integer ++
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
*max-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The maximum length in character the module should display.
*min-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
*align*: ++
typeof: float ++
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.
*justify*: ++
typeof: string ++
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
*on-click*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when clicked on the module.
*on-click-middle*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
*on-click-right*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
*on-update*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when the module is updated.
*menu*: ++
typeof: string ++
Action that popups the menu.
*menu-file*: ++
typeof: string ++
Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
GtkMenu with id *menu*
*menu-actions*: ++
typeof: array ++
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
*expand*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{load}*: The current CPU load estimated by JACK.
*{bufsize}*: The size of the JACK buffer.
*{samplerate}*: The sample rate at which the JACK server is running.
*{latency}*: The duration, in ms, of the current buffer size.
*{xruns}*: The number of xruns reported by the JACK server since starting Waybar.
