NAME
install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.
DESCRIPTION
update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager. install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.
SYNOPSIS
install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>
Read menu entries from stdin in update-menus --stdout format and generate menu files using the specified menu-method.
Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.
OPTIONS
-h,--help
Show the help message and exit.
--remove
Remove the menu files instead of generating them.
-v,--verbose
Output messages about what the program is doing.
COPYING
install-menu is distributed under the term of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
