Xmenu is a menu utility for X.

Xmenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user
|
|
|
|
|
to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout.

§ Running xmenu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xmenu receives as input a menu specification where each line is a menu
|
|
|
|
|
entry. Each line can be indented with tabs to represent nested menus.
|
|
|
|
|
Each line is made out of a label and a command separated by any number
|
2020-05-16 03:51:26 +02:00
|
|
|
of tabs. Lines without labels are menu separators.

|
|
draw a simple menu with submenus and separators.
