JGMENU_RUN(1)

💖 JGMENU_RUN(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the jgmenu_run manual page (that's the jgmenu_run(1) one, in case you were wondering which of the many glorious pages you landed on) — it's literally just a wrapper for jgmenu, but she's an icon, so let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

jgmenu_run — a wrapper for jgmenu 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jgmenu_run
jgmenu_run <command>
jgmenu_run <option>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works: run it with no command and no option at all and she launches the menu. That's it, that's the job. ✨

And listen — if an instance of jgmenu is already running, this does not start a whole new one, no ma'am. It gets mapped (which is just a fancy way of saying made visible). If there is no instance already running, then yeah, a brand new instance gets started. Either way you're getting a menu, periodt. 💖

Now, when you run it with a command, it calls any program sitting in $libexecdir/jgmenu. Those are executable programs designed to be run by jgmenu rather than directly by users — so like, they're backstage crew, not main characters you're supposed to yell at directly. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --help — print the help message. classic. 💁
• --exec-path — prints the path to $libexecdir/jgmenu, which is exactly where the jgmenu commands live. it's giving "tell me where the girlies are installed" 🌈

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Launch the menu (the no-arguments slay):

jgmenu_run

Wanna see every single jgmenu_run command that exists? run this, bestie:

ls $(jgmenu_run --exec-path)
