WMIILOOP(1)
NAME
wmiiloop-VERSION - tool for easy wmii event handling
SYNOPSIS
eval "$(wmiiloop <events)"
DESCRIPTION
wmiiloop is an awk and sh script which preprocesses sh(1) syntax to
simplify writing a wmii event loop.
wmiiloop associates lines begining with Event, Action, or Key (henceforth known as $keyword), followed by arbitrary text (henceforth known
as $args), with functions which call any indented lines which follow.
In the function names, all non-alphanumeric characters in $args are
replaced with underscores (_). The functions are named $keyword'_'$args.
Any variables in the unintented lines are interpolated by the shell.
Additionally, each declaration's $args are assigned to a variable named
$keyword's'. In this case, no transliteration occurs. For instance,
the following declaration:
- Key $MODKEY-j
- echo Got $@
- yields (assuming $MODKEY is set to Mod1):
- Keys=" $Keys Mod1-j"
Mod1_j() { - echo Got $@
- }
