SYNOPSIS

waypipe [OPTIONS] ssh HOST [PROGRAM]

DESCRIPTION

waypipe runs graphical Wayland applications remotely and displays them locally, similar to X11 forwarding but for Wayland compositors. It handles the Wayland protocol over SSH.
The tool creates a transparent tunnel that makes remote applications appear as native local windows.

PARAMETERS

--test-skip-vulkan

Skip testing for Vulkan support
-h, --help
Display help information

CAVEATS

Requires Wayland on both local and remote systems. Performance depends on network latency. Some applications may not work correctly with remote rendering.
