NAME
wmii9menu - The wmii menu program
SYNOPSIS
wmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...
wmii9menu -v
DESCRIPTION
wmii9menu is wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used
extensively by wmii and related programs to display clickable menus,
namely for window titlebars and bar items. The name, along with the
code, derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives its name
from Plan 9's style of clickable menus.
ARGUMENTS
-a The address at which to connect to wmii.
-i <initial>
If <initial> is listed among the other items on the command
line, it is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned so
that the mouse pointer is centered on said item.
:
USAGE
wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is
displayed as a menu item. The first : in the item name, and any text
following it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse
pointer is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is
depressed when the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the
selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the same. When a selection
is made, wmii9menu prints the result. If the selected item initially
contained a :, the text following it is printed. Otherwise, the item
text itself is printed.
ENVIRONMENT
$WMII_ADDRESS
The address at which to connect to wmii.
$NAMESPACE
The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.
