This output can be used to transport monky-output over the network.

A simple receiver looks like:

import Monky.Modules
import Monky.Outputs.Dzen2

import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BS
import Data.Serialize.Get
import Data.Serialize

printLine out bs = do
  let (Right (line, xs)) = runGetLazyState get bs
  doLine out line
  printLine out xs

main :: IO ()
main = do
  out <- getDzenOut 20 "/home/ongy/.monky/xbm"
  input <- BS.getContents
  printLine out input

Used with:

socat - TCP4:127.0.0.1:1234 | ./TestS| dzen2 -y 20 -w 1280
socat TCP-LISTEN:1234 "EXEC:monky -d /tmp/monky"
