NAME

       jgmenu-pmenu - generate jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data

SYNOPSIS

       jgmenu_run pmenu [-h | –help] [–append-file <FILE>]
                        [–prepend-file <FILE>] [–locale <LOCALE>]

DESCRIPTION

       Generates  jgmenu  flavoured CSV menu data based on .desktop and .directory files found on
       the system, but ignores any .menu files.  Instead of the structure specified in the  .menu
       file,  it simply maps each “.desktop” application onto one of the “.directory” categories.
       If  a  matching  “.directory”  category  does  not  exist,  it  tries  to  cross-reference
       “additional  categories”  to  “related  categories”  in accordance with the XDG menu-spec.
       This is a generic approach which avoids Desktop Environment specific rules defined in  the
       .menu file.  It ensures that all .desktop files are included in the menu.

       The root menu is appended/prepended by the contents of the following files if they exist:

       • ~/.config/jgmenu/append.csv

       • ~/.config/jgmenu/prepend.csv
