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 hierarchy 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  FreeDesktop
	    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 un-
     processed 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@googlegroups.com) with  you
     command  line,  so the team can work on improving the behaviour of the pro-
     gram on this case.
