wmiiloop-VERSION
SYNOPSIS
eval "$(wmiiloop <events)"
DESCRIPTIONwmiiloop is an awk and sh script which preprocesses sh(1) syntax to
simplify writing a wmii event loop.
wmiiloop associates lines begining with Event, Action, or Key (hence‐
forth known as $keyword), followed by arbitrary text (henceforth known
as $args), with functions which call any indented lines which follow.
In the function names, all non-alphanumeric characters in $args are
replaced with underscores (_). The functions are named $key‐
word'_'$args.
Any variables in the unintented lines are interpolated by the shell.
Additionally, each declaration's $args are assigned to a variable named
$keyword's'. In this case, no transliteration occurs. For instance,
the following declaration:
Key $MODKEY-j
echo Got $@
yields (assuming $MODKEY is set to Mod1):
Keys=" $Keys Mod1-j"
Mod1_j() {
echo Got $@
}
