NAME

wmmenugen - Window Maker PropList menu generator

SYNOPSIS

wmmenugen [options...] -parser=<name> fspec [fspec...] [-parser=<name> fspec [fspec...]...]

DESCRIPTION

wmmenugen generates a menu in the PropList format for Window Maker from the input file fspec. In the case where fspec is a directory instead of a file, then wmmenugen will read all the files present in the hierarchy of this directory.

OPTIONS

--help, -h: print a help message with the list of options
-parser: specify the format of the file to be parsed
--version: print the version of Window Maker from which the program comes

PARSERS

wmmenugen supports these file formats for input files:

wmconfig: the format of the menu generation tool for X of the same name
xdg: the format of the menu specification as defined by the FreeDesktop standard, currently at version 1.1

RETURN VALUE

The exit status from the wmmenugen command provides information for the caller:

0: when the PropList menu was successfully generated on stdout.
1: when a fspec caused a problem (non readable file, ...)
2: the arguments of the command line where not recognised
3: the program met an unexpected menu structure; you probably want to look at the section BUGS below.

BUGS

If you get the exit status 3 with the unclear error message about unprocessed levels on the stack, you encountered a limitation of wmmenugen. It would be a good idea to prepare an archive with the files incriminated and submit them to the mailing list (wmaker-dev@googlegroups.com) with you command line, so the team can work on improving the behaviour of the program on this case.
