-- Grab environment we need
local client = client
local type = type
local ipairs = ipairs
local pairs = pairs
local aclient = require("awful.client")

--- Apply rules to clients at startup.
module("awful.rules")

--- This is the global rules table.
-- <p>You should fill this table with your rule and properties to apply.
-- For example, if you want to set xterm maximized at startup, you can add:
-- <br/>
-- <code>
-- { rule = { class = "xterm" },
--   properties = { maximized_vertical = true, maximized_horizontal = true } }
-- </code>
-- </p>
-- <p>If you want to set mplayer floating at startup, you can add:
-- <code>
-- <br/>
-- { rule = { name = "MPlayer" },
--   properties = { floating = true } }
-- </code>
-- </p>
-- <p>If you want to put Firefox on a specific tag at startup, you
-- can add:
-- <code
-- { rule = { instance = "Firefox" }
--   properties = { tag = mytagobject } }
-- <p>Note that all "rule" entries need to match. If any of the entry does not
-- match, the rule won't be applied.</p>
-- <p>If a client matches multiple rules, their applied in the order they are
-- put in this global rules table. If the value of a rule is a string, then the
-- match function is used to determine if the client matches the rule.</p>
