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@lists.windowmaker.org)  with  you  command line, so the team can work on improving the
       behaviour of the program on this case.
