EXMENEN(1) General Commands Manual EXMENEN(1)
NAME
exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops
SYNOPSIS
exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]
exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.
exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis. It does this by creating
symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide), or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/ (per-user). If the
XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config .
Likewise, exmendis disables an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a menu which is already
enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.
EXAMPLES
exmendis --system electronics
exmenen --system electronics
Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user.
FILES
/usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus.
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset, the directory
used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged
