________________________________________________________________________________

	iomenu is a terminal tool to interactively select lines from stdin, and
	print them out to the standard output.

	You can use scripts made for dmenu [1], as iomenu mostly the same way.

	Thanks to the authors of dmenu [1], sandy [2], vis-menu[3], pep[4], ...
	that taught me C by writing some.


Getting started
________________________________________________________________________________

	You can install iomenu by running:
	
	"""
	make install
	"""
	
	You can optionnaly set a "PREFIX" variable to set the path to
	install to:
	
	"""
	make PREFIX="$HOME/bin" install
	"""

	All you need to build it is a C compiler:  It is plain C89 source
	code without external dependencies.

	All usage details are written in the man page, "iomenu.1".


Examples
________________________________________________________________________________


Open a bookmark from a list in a text file

	"""
	iomenu < bookmarks-urls.txt | xargs firefox
	"""


Go to a subdirectory

	"""
	cd "$(find . -type d | iomenu)"
	"""


Edit a file located in ~

	"""

	"""
	fg "%$(jobs | iomenu | cut -c 2)"
