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.
