==========
SYNOPSIS
--------
**polybar** [*OPTIONS*]... [*BAR*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Polybar aims to help users build beautiful and highly customizable status bars for their desktop environment, without the need of having a black belt in shell scripting.
If the *BAR* argument is not provided and the configuration file only contains one bar definition, polybar will display this bar.

.. option:: -h, --help
Display help text and exit
.. option:: -v, --version

.. option:: -q, --quiet
