.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
.B dmenu
|
2011-09-20 01:06:13 +02:00
|
|
|
is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline\-separated items from
|
|
|
|
stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed
|
|
|
|
to stdout and dmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those
|
|
|
|
matching the tokens in the input.

|
2012-01-01 20:32:40 +01:00

which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL.

dmenu grabs the keyboard before reading stdin if not reading from a tty. This
|
|
|
|
is faster, but will lock up X until stdin reaches end\-of\-file.
