PUBLIC CONSTANTS

$VERS

The fvwm version number at the generation time like ``2.6.0'' plus the info that may indicate that this is not a final version, but a cvs snapshot.

$TIME

The unix time of the command list generation.

Example:

    print "The FVWM command list found on your system was generated "
        . (time() - $FVWM::Commands::TIME) / 86400 . " days ago\n";

@LIST

The command list that is an array of hashes with keys name, cursor, descr (string) and window (boolean).

name may be special, like ``+'', ``#'' and ``*''. Other names usually contain only isalpha characters, like Move, SendToModule.

cursor may be either empty or the cursor context used in CursorStyle (like ``SELECT'' or ``MOVE''), associated with the command.

descr is a short one line description of the command.

window is true for commands that need a window.

Example:

    # get command names only
    @commandNames = map { $_->{name} } @FVWM::Commands::LIST;
