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
