By including this in the \fBicewm\-menu\fR\|(1), the system applications become available in the icewm start menu. .SS ARGUMENTS .IX Subsection "ARGUMENTS" .IP [\fIFILENAME\fR] 4 .IX Item "[FILENAME]" The optional \fIFILENAME\fR argument is the location of a \fI.desktop\fR file. When given, \fBicewm-menu-fdo\fR launches the application using the \f(CW\*(C`Exec\*(C'\fR line from the desktop file. .SS OPTIONS .IX Subsection "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-generic\fR" 4 .IX Item "-g, --generic" Include the generic name in parentheses in the title of \fBprog\fR entries. .IP \fB\-\-seps\fR 4 .IX Item "--seps" Print a leading and a trailing separator. .IP \fB\-\-sep\-before\fR 4 .IX Item "--sep-before" Print a leading separator. .IP \fB\-\-sep\-after\fR 4 .IX Item "--sep-after" Print a trailing separator. .IP \fB\-\-no\-sep\-others\fR 4 .IX Item "--no-sep-others" Don't print the \f(CW\*(C`Other\*(C'\fR category last. .IP \fB\-\-no\-sub\-cats\fR 4 .IX Item "--no-sub-cats" Don't nest subcategories in submenus. .IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output=FILE\fR" 4 .IX Item "-o, --output=FILE" Write the output to \fIFILE\fR. .IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-terminal=NAME\fR" 4 .IX Item "-t, --terminal=NAME" Use \fINAME\fR to start a terminal emulator that supports the '\-e' option. .IP \fB\-\-flat\fR 4 .IX Item "--flat" Display apps from all categories in one level with the title containing the category information as prefix. .IP "\fB\-F sep\fR, \fB\-\-flat\-sep=sep\fR" 4 .IX Item "-F sep, --flat-sep=sep" When used with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-flat\*(C'\fR, the specified character sequence is used as separator between the section titles. .IP "\fB\-m filter\fR, \fB\-\-match=filter\fR" 4 .IX Item "-m filter, --match=filter" Specifies a filter to show only apps that contain this as substring within their title. .IP "\fB\-M filter\fR, \fB\-\-imatch=filter\fR" 4 .IX Item "-M filter, --imatch=filter" Like \f(CW\*(C`\-\-match\*(C'\fR but applied with any letter case. .IP \fB\-\-match\-sec\fR 4 .IX Item "--match-sec" Apply the filter from \f(CW\*(C`\-\-match\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-\-imatch\*(C'\fR to both, apps and section titles. .IP \fB\-\-match\-osec\fR 4 .IX Item "--match-osec" Apply the filter from \f(CW\*(C`\-\-match\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-\-imatch\*(C'\fR to only to section titles. .IP "\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR" 4 .IX Item "-h, --help" Print a brief usage statement to \fIstdout\fR and exit. .IP "\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR" 4 .IX Item "-V, --version" Print the program version to \fIstdout\fR and exit. .IP "\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-copying\fR" 4 .IX Item "-C, --copying" Print copying permissions to \fIstdout\fR for the program and exit. .SS USAGE .IX Subsection "USAGE" This utility is not normally used directly. It is used as the executable in a \fBmenuprog\fR entry in a \fBicewm\-menu\fR\|(5). .SS EXAMPLES .IX Subsection "EXAMPLES" The following line in a \fBicewm\-menu\fR\|(5) file will dynamically generate a comprehensive set of menus for easy access to \fI.desktop\fR files. .PP .Vb 1 \& menuprog "Desktop Apps" folder icewm\-menu\-fdo .Ve .SS ENVIRONMENT .IX Subsection "ENVIRONMENT" \&\fBXDG_DATA_HOME\fR or \fBXDG_DATA_DIRS\fR are considered as suggested by XDG Base Directory Specification. .PP \&\fBTERMINAL\fR may define a terminal emulator that supports the '\-e' option. .SS "CONFORMING TO" .IX Subsection "CONFORMING TO" \&\fBicewm-menu-fdo\fR complies roughly to the XDG \fI.desktop\fR file and menu specification, see "Desktop Entry Specification", Version 1.2alpha, 2015\-03\-06 and "Desktop Menu Specification", Version 1.1\-draft, 31 March 2011. .SS CAVEATS .IX Subsection "CAVEATS" The \fBicewm-menu-fdo\fR program is only built when the \fBicewm\fR\|(1) package is configured with the \fB\-\-enable\-menus\-fdo\fR option, which requires the \&\fBglib2\-dev\fR package dependency. .SS "SEE ALSO" .IX Subsection "SEE ALSO" Base Directory Specification, Desktop Entry Specification, Desktop Menu Specification, \&\fBicewm\fR\|(1), \&\fBicewm\-menu\fR\|(5), \&\fBicewm\-preferences\fR\|(5), \&\fBicewm\-programs\fR\|(5). .SS BUGS .IX Subsection "BUGS" Please report bugs at . .SS AUTHOR .IX Subsection "AUTHOR" Eduard Bloch . .PP See \fB\-\-copying\fR for full copyright notice and copying permissions. .SS LICENSE .IX Subsection "LICENSE" \&\fBIceWM\fR is licensed under the GNU Library General Public License.
