.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The X Desktop Manager is a graphical shell for the X Window System.
|
|
It provides facilities to list directories graphically, view, edit,
|
|
copy, move, delete, and modify permissions on files, and to launch programs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It comes with comprehensive help available from within the program,
|
|
this should be consulted for instructions on how to use the program.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \f2\-cf\f1 option tells xdtm to use the following file as the
|
|
configuration file. If this file is not found xdtm will try the users
|
|
home directory for the file .xdtmrc, if that fails the system xdtmrc
|
|
will be used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \f2\-delay\f1 option is used on systems with NFS mounted directories.
|
|
It specifies the time in seconds to delay between updating a directories
|
|
contents and updating the directory listing within xdtm. A value of 1 second
|
|
is usually enough unless the network is very heavily loaded. The valid range
|
|
is between 1 and 5 seconds.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \f2\-dmfont\f1 option is used to specify the font to be used to list
|
|
the filenames in the directory list. Because this font is used in the
|
|
long listing mode within which spaces are used to align the columns of data a
|
|
fixed width font should be specified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Any standard X Toolkit command line options may be used in addition to the
|
|
ones already listed above.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
