NAME
       wmii9menu - The wmii menu program

SYNOPSIS
       wmii9menu   [-a	 <address>]   [-i   <initial>]	 <item>[:<command>]...
       wmii9menu -v

DESCRIPTION
       wmii9menu 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,  de-
       rives  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.

       :

USAGE
       wmii9menu 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
       $WMII_ADDRESS
	      The address at which to connect to wmii.

       $NAMESPACE
	      The namespace directory to use if	no address is provided.
