|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-file \fIfile-name\fP
|
|

|
|
This does not work on regular files as they are always ready to be read from.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-tail
|
|
This option makes
|
|
.I xconsole
|
|
work on a regular file. Only data appended to the file after
|
|
.I xconsole
|
|
starts is displayed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-notify \-nonotify
|
|
When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set,
|
|
the icon name of the application has " *" appended, so that it is evident
|
|
even when the application is iconified. \-notify is the default.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-daemon
|
|
This option causes
|
|
.I xconsole
|
|
to place itself in the background, using fork/exit.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-verbose
|
|
When set, this option directs
|
|
.I xconsole
|
|
to display an informative message in the first line of the text buffer.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-exitOnFail
|
|
When set, this option directs
|
|
.I xconsole
|
|
to exit when it is unable to redirect the console output.
|
|
.SH X DEFAULTS
