WMIILOOP(1)                                                        WMIILOOP(1)

NAME
       wmiiloop-VERSION

SYNOPSIS
       eval "$(wmiiloop <events)"

DESCRIPTION
       wmiiloop is an awk and sh script which preprocesses sh(1) syntax to
       simplify writing a wmii event loop.

       wmiiloop associates lines begining with Event, Action, or Key
       (henceforth known as $keyword), followed by arbitrary text (henceforth
       known as $args), with functions which call any indented lines which
       follow. In the function names, all non-alphanumeric characters in $args
       are replaced with underscores (_). The functions are named
       $keyword'_'$args.

       Any variables in the unintented lines are interpolated by the shell.

       Additionally, each declaration's $args are assigned to a variable named
       $keyword's'.  In this case, no transliteration occurs. For instance,
       the following declaration:

       Key $MODKEY-j
            echo Got $@

       yields (assuming $MODKEY is set to Mod1):

       Keys=" $Keys Mod1-j"
       Mod1_j() {
            echo Got $@
       }
