icewm-menu-fdo - menu generator for .desktop files
icewm-menu-fdo [OPTIONS] [FILENAME]
icewm-menu-fdo generates a menu for the IceWM window manager from XDG menu descriptors (aka FreeDesktop.Org .desktop files). By including this in the icewm-menu(1), the system applications become available in the icewm start menu.
This utility is not normally used directly. It is used as the executable in a menuprog entry in a icewm-menu(5).
The following line in a icewm-menu(5) file will dynamically generate a comprehensive set of menus for easy access to .desktop files.
menuprog "Desktop Apps" folder icewm-menu-fdo
XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_DATA_DIRS are considered as suggested by XDG Base Directory Specification.
icewm-menu-fdo complies roughly to the XDG .desktop 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.
The icewm-menu-fdo program is only built when the icewm(1) package is configured with the --enable-menus-fdo option, which requires the glib2-dev package dependency.
