= FvwmPrompt(1)

== NAME

FvwmPrompt - a command-shell for fvwm3

== SYNOPSIS

[verse]
_FvwmPrompt_ <options>

== DESCRIPTION

_FvwmPrompt_ accepts the following command-line arguments:

 FvwmPrompt [-p <prompt>]

_FvwmPrompt_ provides a minimal shell for sending commands to **fvwm3** -- with
the history of previous commands remembered for easier repetition.

The prompt can be changed, although by default the _FvwmPrompt_ interface
looks like the following:

....
*FvwmPrompt 1.0.1 (1.0.0-49-g845f28d85-dirty)

Press ^D or type 'exit' to end this session

>>>
....

== Prerequisites

_FvwmMFL_(1) must be spawned by **fvwm3** otherwise _FvwmPrompt_ will not
start.  For example:

....
AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmMFL
....

== Comparisons to FvwmConsole

Unlike _FvwmConsole_, _FvwmPrompt_ doesn't need to be spawned via a terminal
(such as _xterm_) but acts as a standalone program, and can be run from any
terminal the user choses.
