Man Linux: Main Page and Category List

NAME

       exmenen,  exmendis  -  enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and
       other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops

SYNOPSIS

       exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]

       exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.

       exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications  menu
       on  either  a  system,  or  per-user  basis.   It does this by creating
       symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system  wide),  or
       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/    (per-user).   If   the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken  to
       be ${HOME}/.config .

       Likewise,  exmendis  disables  an  extra  applications menu by removing
       those symlinks.  It is not an error to enable a menu which  is  already
       enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

EXAMPLES

              exmendis --system electronics
              exmenen --system electronics

       Disables  the  system  wide  extra electronics menu, enables it for the
       current user.

FILES

       /usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
              Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.

       /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
              Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-
              wide enabled extra menus.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
              Directory with links to the files in  extra-xdg-menus  for  per-
              user  enabled  extra  menus.  If  XDG_CONFIG_HOME  is unset, the
              directory used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged
