SYNOPSIS

fvwm-menu-xlock [ --help|-h|-? ] [ --version|-V ] [ --name|-n name ] [ --title|-t title ] [ --item format ] [ --icon-title icon ] [ --icon-item icon ] [ --special-first|-s ] [ -- xlock params ]

DESCRIPTION

A simple perl script which parses xlock’s output to build an fvwm menu definition of all xlock’s modes.

OPTIONS

--help
    Show the help and exit.

--version
    Show the version and exit.

--name name
    Define menu name in the following argument. Default is XLockMenu.

--title title
    Define menu title in the following argument. Default is XLock Modes.

--item format
    Define menu item format in the following argument, default is '%n\t(%d)'. TAB can be specified as '\t', but in .fvwm2rc you should specify a double backslash or a real TAB.

    Format specifiers:

        %n - mode name
        %d - mode description
        %D - mode description without "Shows " prefix if any

    These specifiers can receive an optional integer size, positive for right adjusted string or negative for left adjusted, example: %8x; and optional *num or *-num, which means to leave only the first or last (if minus) num of chars, the num must be greater than 3, since the striped part is replaced with ..., example: %*30x. Both can be combined: %-10*-20x, this instructs to get only the 20 last characters, but if the length is less then 10 - to fill with up to 10 spaces on the right.

--icon-title icon
    Define menu icon for title. Default is no title icon (equivalent to an empty icon argument).

--icon-item icon
    Define menu icon for regular item. Default is no icon (equivalent to an empty icon argument).

--wm-icons
    Define icon names suitable for use with wm-icons package. Currently this is equivalent to: --icon-title '' --icon-item menu/lock.xpm.

--special-first
    Instructs to include special modes (usually black, bomb and random) first.

Option parameters can be specified either using '=' or in the next argument. Short options are ok if not ambiguous: -h, -t; but be careful with short options, what is now unambiguous, can became ambiguous in the next versions.

Additional arguments (after --) will be passed to xlock.

Please see the xlock(1) man page for the xlock options.

    PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-xlock --name MenuSSaver --title "Screensaver" \

    PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-xlock --name MenuSLock --title "Lock Screen" \
      --icon-item mini-rball.xpm --special-first -- -nice 19'
