DESCRIPTION
dmenu-wl is a dynamic menu for Wayland, originally designed for X and dwm(1). It manages huge numbers of user-defined menu items efficiently.dmenu-wl reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a menu (or displays a notification if using -e). When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, their choice is printed to standard output and dmenu-wl terminates.
dmenu-wl_run is a dmenu-wl script used by dwm which lists programs in the user's PATH and executes the selected item.
dmenu-wl_path is a program used by dmenu-wl_run to find and cache a list of executables.
