NAME

       wmii9menu - The wmii menu program

SYNOPSIS

       wmii9menu [-a <address>] [-i <initial>] <item>[:<command>]...  wmii9menu -v

DESCRIPTION

       wmii9menu  is wmii's standard clickable menu program. It's used extensively by wmii and related programs to display clickable menus, namely
       for window titlebars and bar items. The name, along with the code, derives from the 9menu program, which in turn derives its name from Plan
       9's style of clickable menus.

ARGUMENTS

       -a     The address at which to connect to wmii.

       -i <initial>

	      If  <initial> is listed among the other items on the command line, it is selected at startup, and the menu is positioned so that the
	      mouse pointer is centered on said item.

       :

USAGE

       wmii9menu is invoked with a list of arguments, each of which is displayed as a menu item. The first : in the item name, and any	text  fol-
       lowing  it,  is	stripped.  The menu is opened such that the mouse pointer is centered on the selected item. If a mouse button is depressed
       when the menu opens, then releasing it will confirm the selection. Otherwise, a mouse press will do the same. When  a  selection  is  made,
       wmii9menu  prints  the  result.	If  the selected item initially contained a :, the text following it is printed.  Otherwise, the item text
       itself is printed.

ENVIRONMENT

       $WMII_ADDRESS
	      The address at which to connect to wmii.

       $NAMESPACE
	      The namespace directory to use if no address is provided.

IXPC(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   IXPC(1)

NAME

       ixpc - ixp client

SYNOPSIS

       ixpc [-a address] action file
       ixpc -v

DESCRIPTION

   Overview
       ixpc is a client to access a 9P file server from the command line or from shell scripts. It can be used to configure wmii(1).

   Options
       -a address
	      Lets you specify the address to which ixpc will establish a connection. If this option is not supplied, and the environment variable
	      IXP_ADDRESS is set, ixpc will use this value as its address. Currently, the address can only be a unix socket file or a tcp  socket.
	      The  syntax  for	address  is  taken  (along  with  many	other  profound  ideas)  from the Plan 9 operating system and has the form
	      unix!/path/to/socket for unix socket files, and tcp!hostname!port for tcp sockets.

       -v     Prints version information to stdout, then exits.

       The syntax of the actions is as follows:

       write  Writes the supplied data from the standard input to file, overwriting any previous data.	The data to be written	is  arbitrary  and
	      only gains meaning (and restrictions) when it is interpreted by wmiiwm(1).  See EXAMPLES below.

       xwrite The same as write, but the data is taken from subsequent arguments, rather than the standard input.

       create Creates file or directory. If the file exists, nothing is done.

       ls     Lists files and directories.

       read   Reads file or directory contents.

       remove Removes file or directory tree.

ENVIRONMENT

       IXP_ADDRESS
	      See above.

EXAMPLES

       ixpc ls /
	      This  prints the root directory of the wmii filesystem, if IXP_ADDRESS is set to the address of wmii. For more information about the
	      contents of this filesystem, see wmiiwm(1).

       ixpc xwrite /ctl quit
	      Write 'quit' to the main control file of the wmii filesystem, effectively leaving wmii.

       ixpc write /keys < keys.txt
	      Replace the contents of /keys with the contents of keys.txt
