      9 wmii9menu - The wmii menu program
     10 
     11 = SYNOPSIS =
     12 
     13 wmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...
     14 wmii9menu -v
     15 
     16 = DESCRIPTION =
     17 
     18 `wmii9menu` is `wmii`'s standard clickable menu program. It's used
     19 extensively by `wmii` and related programs to display clickable
     20 menus, namely for window titlebars and bar items. The name, along
     21 with the code, derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives
     22 its name from Plan 9's style of clickable menus.
     23 
     24 = ARGUMENTS =
     25 
     26 : -a
     27         The address at which to connect to `wmii`.
     28 : -i <initial>
     29 	If <initial> is listed among the other items on the command
     30 	line, it is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned
     31 	so that the mouse pointer is centered on said item.
     32 :
     33 
     34 = USAGE =
     35 
     36 `wmii9menu` is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is
     37 displayed as a menu item. The first _:_ in the item name, and any
     38 text following it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the
     39 mouse pointer is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is
     40 depressed when the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the
     41 selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the same. When a
     42 selection is made, `wmii9menu` prints the result. If the selected
     43 item initially contained a _:_, the text following it is printed.
     44 Otherwise, the item text itself is printed.
     45 
     46 = ENVIRONMENT =
     47 
     48 : $WMII_ADDRESS
     49         The address at which to connect to wmii.
     50 : $NAMESPACE
     51         The namespace directory to use if no address is
     52         provided.
