dmenu - dynamic menu

dmenu is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin.  When  the  user
       selects  an  item  and  presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and dmenu terminates.  Entering
       text will narrow the items to those matching the tokens in the input.

       dmenu_run is a script used by dwm(1) which lists programs in the user's $PATH  and  runs  the  result  in
       their $SHELL.

-b     dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen.

       -f     dmenu  grabs the keyboard before reading stdin if not reading from a tty. This is faster, but will
