            1 iomenu
            2 ======
            3 
            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.
