DESCRIPTION
9menu is a simple program that accepts a list of menu item and command pairs on the
command line. It creates a window that consists of nothing but a menu. When a particular
item is selected, the corresponding command is executed.
Either Button1 or Button3 may be used to select an item. Alternatively, the UP-ARROW and
DOWN-ARROW cursor keys may be used to highlight different items, with ENTER used to select
the highlighted item.
Menu items and commands are separated by a colon. The colon and command are optional. If
they are missing, then the menu item is assumed to be a command that can be executed
directly.
A menu item consisting of the word exit causes 9menu to exit when it is selected.
Otherwise, to stop 9menu , delete it using the window manager. The exit menu item can be
anywhere in the list, although by convention it is last. If a command is supplied along
with the exit item, that command is executed before 9menu exits.
If a menu item's command starts with the word exec, 9menu ceases operating after launching
it.
9menu accepts the following command line options, listed alphabetically:
-bg background-color
Set the background color to background-color. By default, the background color is
white.
-display displayname
Use the X display displayname, instead of the default display.
-file filename
Read items to display from filename, in addition to any other command line
arguments. This is intended for use with #! in scripts. If the filename is "-"
read from stdin. A filename of - causes 9menu to read items from standard input.
-fg foreground-color
Set the foreground color to foreground-color. By default, the foreground color is
black.
-font fname
Use the font fname, instead of one of the default fonts built into 9wm.
-geometry geom
Use geom (a geometry in standard X format) as the geometry of the menu. This is
most useful for specifying the initial location of the menu. Note that 9menu
overrides the size part of the geometry specification. The window is always just
large enough to hold the menu.
-iconic
Start up in the iconified state.
-label name
Change both the window and icon labels of the window to name. The default label is
the last component of the path used to run 9menu, typically, 9menu.
-path Append the current directory to the command search path.
-popdown
Once an item is selected, the menu window automatically iconifies itself.
-popup Act like a pop-up menu. Once a menu item is selected, 9menu exits. This option
overrides -popdown.
-shell prog
Use prog as the shell to run commands, instead of /bin/sh. A popular alternative
shell is rc(1). If the shell cannot be executed, 9menu then silently falls back to
using /bin/sh.
-teleport
Move the menu to where the mouse is when the menu is uniconified. This option is
particularly useful when combined with -popdown.
-version
This option prints the version of 9menu on the standard output, and then exits with
an exit value of zero.
-warp Warp the mouse to the menu when the menu is uniconified. After the selection is
made, restore the mouse to where it was. This option is particularly useful when
combined with -popdown.
EXAMPLES
9menu -label Remotes xterm 'acme:rsh acme xterm' 'herman:rsh herman 9term' &
9menu -label 'X progs' ghostview xdvi xeyes xneko exit &
