Hi,
I've applied the non-blocking stdin patch[1] to dmenu. It's working fine
when I pipe the initial content (like normal dmenu), but I'm not able to
get it working when stdin changes.
What I did so far is create an Unix socket with socat and pipe it to
dmenu. Then I just connect to the socket from another TTY to pipe some
new lines, but dmenu doesn't refresh the available options:
(x11 terminal)$ socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/dmenu_test - | dmenu
(tty)$ ls ~/ | socat UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/dmenu_test -
I've also tried using `tail -f` this way:
(x11 terminal)$ tail -f /tmp/dmenu_test | dmenu
(tty)$ echo 'test' >> /tmp/dmenu_test
This didn't work either..
I've tried these tests patching against both my custom branch (based on
master) and the 3c91eed one (original diff version).
What I'm doing wrong? How do you get it working?
Regards,
Rubén Santos
