Usage

Overview

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

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