NAME
     j4-dmenu-desktop - faster replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop

DESCRIPTION
     j4-dmenu-desktop is a faster replacement for i3-dmenu-desktop.

     It's purpose is to find .desktop files and offer you a menu to start an ap-
     plication using dmenu.

SYNOPSIS
	    j4-dmenu-desktop  [--dmenu="dmenu  -i"]  [--term="i3-sensible-termi-
	    nal"]

OPTIONS
     --dmenu=<command>
	    Determines the command used to invoke dmenu Executed with your shell
	    ($SHELL) or /bin/sh

     --use-xdg-de
	    Enables reading $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to determine the desktop  envi-
	    ronment

     --display-binary
	    Display binary name after each entry (off by default)

     --no-generic
	    Do not include the generic name of desktop entries

     --term=<command>
	    Sets the terminal emulator used to start terminal apps

     --usage-log=<file>
	    Must point to a read-writeable file (will create if not exists).  In
	    this mode entries are sorted by usage frequency.

     --wait-on=<path>
	    Must  point  to a path where a file can be created.  In this mode no
	    menu will be shown. Instead the program waits for <path> to be writ-
	    ten to (use echo > path). Every time this happens  a  menu	will  be
	    shown.   Desktop files are parsed ahead of time.  Perfoming 'echo -n
	    q > path' will exit the program.

     --no-exec
	    Do not execute selected command, send to stdout instead
