NAME

       wmii9menu - The wmii menu program

SYNOPSIS

       wmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...  wmii9menu -v

DESCRIPTION

       wmii9menu  is  wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used extensively by wmii and related programs
       to display clickable menus, namely for window titlebars and bar items. The name,  along  with  the  code,
       derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives its name from Plan 9's style of clickable menus.

ARGUMENTS

       -a     The address at which to connect to wmii.

       -i <initial>

              If  <initial>  is listed among the other items on the command line, it is selected at startup, and
              the menu is positioned so that the mouse pointer is centered on said item.

       :

USAGE

       wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is displayed as a menu item. The first :  in
       the  item name, and any text following it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer is
       centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is depressed when the menu opens, then releasing it will
       confirm  the  selection.  Otherwise,  a mouse press will do the same. When a selection is made, wmii9menu
       prints the result. If the selected item initially contained a  :,  the  text  following  it  is  printed.
       Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.

ENVIRONMENT

       $WMII_ADDRESS
              The address at which to connect to wmii.

       $NAMESPACE
              The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.
