This is 9menu, a simple program that allows you to create X menus from the shell, where each menu item will run a command. 9menu is intended for use with 9wm, but can be used with any other window manager.

The idea of a command line menu generator is from xmenu, but xmenu was exclusively a pop-up menu, not what I wanted.

The files are:

README --- this file 9menu.1 --- man page for 9menu 9menu.c --- source code Imakefile --- a contributed Imakefile, from Bengt Kleberg bengt@softwell.se Makefile.noimake --- a simple makefile. meson.build --- for people who prefer meson.
