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.
