SYNOPSISwmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...

DESCRIPTIONwmii9menu is wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used exten‐
sively by wmii and related programs to display clickable menus, namely
for window titlebars and bar items. The name, along with the code,
derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives its name from
Plan 9's style of clickable menus.
ARGUMENTS-a The address at which to connect to wmii.
-i <initial>
If <initial> is listed among the other items on the command
line, it is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned so
that the mouse pointer is centered on said item.
:
USAGEwmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is dis‐
played as a menu item. The first : in the item name, and any text fol‐
lowing it, is stripped. The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer
is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is depressed when
the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the selection. Other‐
wise, a mouse press will do the same. When a selection is made,
wmii9menu prints the result. If the selected item initially contained a
:, the text following it is printed. Otherwise, the item text itself
is printed.
ENVIRONMENT
