NAME
FvwmM4 - the FVWM M4 pre-processor
SYNOPSIS
FvwmM4 is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
When called, this module will attempt to have M4 pre-process the file
specified in its invocation, and then have fvwm read the resulting file.
INVOCATION
FvwmM4 can be invoked by inserting the line 'FvwmM4' in
the .fvwmrc file. It can also be called from a menu or mouse binding.
If the user wants his entire .fvwmrc file pre-processed with FvwmM4,
then fvwm should be invoked as fvwm -f "FvwmM4 .fvwmrc". Note that the
argument to the option "-f" should be enclosed
in quotes, and no other quoting should be used. For example, a
typical invocation might be
fvwm -f "FvwmM4 -m4-squote { -m4-equote } .fvwmrc"
Some options can be specified on the command line:
- -m4-prefix
-
I think this makes all the m4 directives require the prefix "m4_".
- -m4opt
-
Lets you pass an option to the m4 program.
- -m4-squote
-
Lets you change the m4 start-of-quote character to character.
- -m4-equote
-
Lets you change the m4 end-of-quote character to character.
- -m4prog
-
Instead of invoking "m4", fvwm will invoke name.
- -debug
-
Causes the temporary file create by m4 to
be retained. This file is usually called "/tmp/fvwmrcXXXXXX"
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmM4 defines some values for use in the pre-processor file:
- TWM_TYPE

- SERVERHOST
-
The name of the machine running the X Server.
- CLIENTHOST
-
The name of the machine running fvwm.
- HOSTNAME

The X server release number.
- WIDTH
-
The screen width in pixels.
- HEIGHT
-
The screen height in pixels.
- X_RESOLUTION
-
Some distance/pixel measurement for the horizontal direction, I think.
- Y_RESOLUTION
-
Some distance/pixel measurement for the vertical direction, I think.
- PLANES
-
Number of color planes for the X server display
- BITS_PER_RGB
-
Number of bits in each rgb triplet.

FvwmM4 is the result of a random bit mutation on a hard disk,
presumably a result of a cosmic-ray or some such thing.
