Termination

Dzen uses two different approaches to terminate itself:

Timed termination

If a EOF is received then terminate the application, unless the -p option is set. Without the persistent argument dzen will persist forever. If -p is specified with an argument n, then dzen will persist for n seconds.

Interactive termination

If mouse button3 is clicked then terminate the application. This is the default behavior (see Events and actions). Additionally, in some modes the Escape key will also terminate the application.
