NAME

       exmenen,  exmendis  - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec
       compliant desktops

SYNOPSIS

       exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]

       exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.

       exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system,
       or  per-user basis.  It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-
       merged/ (system wide), or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/ (per-user). If the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME  environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config
       .

       Likewise, exmendis disables an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks.  It  is
       not an error to enable a menu which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already
       disabled.

EXAMPLES

              exmendis --system electronics
              exmenen --local electronics

       Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user.

FILES

       /usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
              Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.

       /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
              Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled  extra
              menus.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
              Directory  with  links  to  the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra
              menus.   If   XDG_CONFIG_HOME   is   unset,   the   directory    used    will    be
              ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged
