FvwmCpp
 - the FVWM  Cpp pre-processor

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmCpp  is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation
       will work.

DESCRIPTION

       When called, this module will attempt to have /usr/lib/cpp
       pre-process the file specified in its invocation, and then
       have fvwm read the resulting file.

INVOCATION

       FvwmCpp can be invoked by inserting the line 'FvwmCpp'  in
       the  .fvwm2rc  file.  It can also be called from a menu or
       mouse binding.  If the user wants his entire .fvwm2rc file
       pre-processed  with  FvwmCpp,  then fvwm should be invoked
       as:


            fvwm2 -cmd "FvwmCpp .fvwm2rc"


       Some options can be specified on the command line:

       -Cppopt
              Lets you pass an option to the  cpp  program.   Not
              really needed as any unknown options will be passed
              on automatically.


       -Cppprog
              Instead of invoking "/lib/cpp",  fvwm  will  invoke
              name.


       -outfile
              Instead  of  creating  a random unique name for the
              temporary file for the preprocessed rc  file,  this
              option  will let you specify the name of the tempo-
              rary file it will create.


       -debug Causes the temporary  file  create  by  Cpp  to  be
              retained.  This file is usually called "/tmp/fvwmr-
              cXXXXXX"

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmCpp defines some values for use in  the  pre-processor
              Always set to "fvwm".

       SERVERHOST
              The name of the machine running the X Server.

       CLIENTHOST
              The name of the machine running fvwm.

       HOSTNAME
              The hostname of the machine running fvwm. Generally
              the same as CLIENTHOST.

       OSTYPE The operating system for CLIENTHOST.

       USER   The name of the person running fvwm.

       VERSION
              The X11 version.

       REVISION
              The X11 revision number.

       VENDOR The X server vendor.

       RELEASE
              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.

       CLASS  The X11 visual class, ie PsuedoColor.

       COLOR  Yes or No, Yes if  the  display  class  is  neither
              StaticGrey or GreyScale.

       FVWM_VERSION
              The fvwm version number, ie 2.0

              Some  combination of SHAPE, XPM, NO_SAVEUNDERS, and
              Cpp, as defined in configure.h at compile time.

       FVWMDIR
              The directory where fvwm looks for .fvwmrc and mod-
              ules by default, as determined at compile time.
