NAME

6       wmmenugen - Window Maker PropList menu generator
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wmmenugen     [options...]      -parser=<name>     fspec     [fspec...]
10       [-parser=<name> fspec [fspec...]...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       wmmenugen generates a menu in the PropList format for Window Maker from
14       the  input  file fspec.  In the case where fspec is a directory instead
15       of a file, then wmmenugen will read all the files present in the  hier‐
16       archy of this directory.
17

OPTIONS

19       --help, -h
20              print a help message with the list of options
21
22       -parser
23              specify the format of the file to be parsed
24
25       --version
26              print the version of Window Maker from which the program comes
27

PARSERS

29       wmmenugen supports these file formats for input files:
30
31       wmconfig
32              the format of the menu generation tool for X of the same name
33
34       xdg    the format of the menu specification as defined by the FreeDesk‐
35              top standard, currently at version 1.1
36

RETURN VALUE

38       The exit status from the wmmenugen command provides information for the
39       caller:
40
41       0      when the PropList menu was successfully generated on stdout.
42
43       1      when a fspec caused a problem (non readable file, ...)
44
45       2      the arguments of the command line where not recognised
46
47       3      the  program met an unexpected menu structure; you probably want
48              to look at the section BUGS below.
49

BUGS

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