Bonk, a command-line tool for X11 window management

In plain words

Bonk is a command-line tool for managing X11 windows. It allows users to interact with and control windows directly from the terminal on Linux systems running X11. The tool is designed for developers and advanced users who prefer working with window management through command-line interfaces rather than graphical tools. Bonk provides programmatic access to window operations, making it useful for automation and scripting tasks.
