NAME
       wmmenugen - Window Maker PropList menu generator

SYNOPSIS
       wmmenugen     [options...]      -parser=<name>	  fspec	    [fspec...]
       [-parser=<name> fspec [fspec...]...]

DESCRIPTION
       wmmenugen generates a menu in the PropList format for Window Maker from
       the  input  file fspec.	In the case where fspec is a directory instead
       of a file, then wmmenugen will read all the files present in the	 hier‐
       archy of this directory.

OPTIONS
       --help, -h
	      print a help message with the list of options

       -parser
	      specify the format of the file to be parsed

       --version
	      print the version of Window Maker from which the program comes

PARSERS
       wmmenugen supports these file formats for input files:

       wmconfig
	      the format of the menu generation tool for X of the same name

       xdg    the format of the menu specification as defined by the FreeDesk‐
	      top standard, currently at version 1.1

RETURN VALUE
       The exit status from the wmmenugen command provides information for the
       caller:

       0      when the PropList menu was successfully generated on stdout.

       1      when a fspec caused a problem (non readable file, ...)

       2      the arguments of the command line where not recognised

       3      the  program met an unexpected menu structure; you probably want
	      to look at the section BUGS below.

BUGS
       If you get the exit status 3  with  the	unclear	 error	message	 about
       unprocessed  levels  on	the  stack,  you  encountered  a limitation of
       wmmenugen.  It would be a good idea to  prepare	an  archive  with  the
       files  incriminated  and	 submit	 them  to  the	mailing	 list (wmaker-
       dev@lists.windowmaker.org) with you command line, so the team can  work
       on improving the behaviour of the program on this case.
