.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B dmenu
|
|
is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline\-separated items from
|
|
stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed
|
|
to stdout and dmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those
|
|
matching the tokens in the input.
|
|

|
|
.B dmenu_run
|
|
is a dmenu script used by dwm which lists programs in the user's $PATH and
|
|
executes the selected item.
