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 un-
       processed levels	on the stack, you encountered a	limitation of  wmmenu-
       gen.   It would be a good idea to prepare an archive with the files in-
       criminated and submit them  to  the  mailing  list  (wmaker-dev@google-
       groups.com)  with  you  command line, so	the team can work on improving
       the behaviour of	the program on this case.
