tofi(1)			    General Commands Manual		       tofi(1)

NAME
       tofi - Tiny dynamic menu	for Wayland, inspired by rofi(1) and dmenu(1).

SYNOPSIS
       tofi [options...]

       tofi-run	[options...]

       tofi-drun [options...]

DESCRIPTION
       tofi  is	 a  tiny  dynamic  menu	for Wayland compositors	supporting the
       layer-shell protocol. It	reads newline-separated	items from stdin,  and
       displays	 a  graphical  selection menu. When a selection	is made, it is
       printed to stdout.

       When invoked via	the name tofi-run,  tofi  will	not  accept  items  on
       stdin, instead presenting a list	of executables in the user's $PATH.

       When  invoked  via  the	name  tofi-drun, tofi will not accept items on
       stdin, and will generate	a list of applications from desktop  files  as
       described in the	Desktop	Entry Specification.
