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