4 *iomenu* is an interactive menu inspired from dmenu [1]: it reads lines from |
|
|
|
5 stdin display them to the screen [1], and filter them as the user type. When |
|
|
|
6 `Enter` is pressed, the selected line is printed to stdout. |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
|
8 This permits to build interactive menu with shell pipes. As an example, a poor |
|
|
|
9 man's music player could be done this way: |
|
|
|
10 |
|
|
|
11 $ find ~/music -name '*.flac' | iomenu | xargs mplayer |
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
|
13 It will print all the FLAC files in `~/music` to iomenu which shows a fulscreen |
|
|
|
14 menu, and the selected file will be printed to xargs mplayer. |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
|
16 iomenu does not use ncurses but ansi escape sequences [2] instead so it does |
|
|
|
17 not have dependencies beyond a C compiler. |
