wmmenugen - Window Maker PropList menu generator
wmmenugen [

-parser=<name>
fspec [

[-parser=<name>
fspec [
fspec...]...]
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.
-
--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
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
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.
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 (
[email protected])
with you command line, so the team can work on improving the behaviour of the
program on this case.
