dmenu_run ...

DESCRIPTION


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.

dmenu_run is a script used by dwm(1) which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the
result in their $SHELL.

OPTIONS


-b dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen.

-f dmenu grabs the keyboard before reading stdin. This is faster, but will lock up X
until stdin reaches end-of-file.

-i dmenu matches menu items case insensitively.

-l lines
dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines.

-m monitor
dmenu is displayed on the monitor number supplied. Monitor numbers are starting
from 0.

-p prompt
defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field.

-fn font
defines the font or font set used.

-nb color
defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and X color names are
supported.

-nf color
defines the normal foreground color.

-sb color
defines the selected background color.

-sf color
defines the selected foreground color.

-v prints version information to stdout, then exits.
