wmgenmenu(1)

💖 wmgenmenu — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to wmgenmenu(1), a General Commands Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving tiny little tool with a big job. let's get into it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

wmgenmenu — writes a menu structure usable as ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu to stdout 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmgenmenu [options]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. [options] and we go 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so wmgenmenu writes a menu structure usable as ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu to stdout. yes, it just... puts it out there. onto stdout. for you. iconic behavior honestly 💅

and the output format? it's a PropList. that's the tea. no cap.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --help — prints a help message, and that help message comes with the list of options. mutual aid fr fr 🫶
• --version — prints the version of Window Maker from which the program comes. so you know exactly which Window Maker your little menu generator is descended from 🌈

😭 BUGS 😭

okay so listen. the tea. the program is using a built-in structure and list of applications, which means — and I need you to hear me — it cannot discover new programs. it does not go looking. it does not explore. it has its list and it's sticking to it 🙈

but — and this is the slay part — it does filter the programs that cannot be found in the PATH. so it won't hand you a menu full of ghosts. lowkey thoughtful of it 💀

wmgenmenu is a part of Window Maker. It was written by Carlos R. Mafra and Tamas TEVESZ. 👑

This manpage was written by Rodolfo García Peñas (kix) for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). so generous, we love that for us 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! it's from the General Commands Manual, it's version wmgenmenu(1), and it's dated 15 August 2011 — an absolute vintage moment, a little time capsule, and we're obsessed with her 💅✨🦋🌸💖
