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 AUTHOR
