Have any of you ever tried to use Vile? It is an editor that tries to have the finger feel of a Vi based editor, yet beneath the covers there is actually an engine that traces its roots back to Micro Emacs. I first tried it in 1998 when I was about to leave a great UNIX based environment and go out into the world of financial services (where there are plenty of UNIX based back end servers, but predominantly Windows based desktop systems. Vile can run on either UNIX or Windows systems, has the customization features found in Micro Emacs but the look and feel resembling Vi, adn definitely the finger feel of Vi. It is not quite as close to Vi as the console editions of Elvis or Vim, but the finger feel is very close, and it is a fast editor, possibly faster than Vim. Worth a look for those who enjoy experimenting.

NAME

       fprintd - Fingerprint management daemon, and test applications

SYNOPSYS

       fprintd-enroll [username]

       fprintd-list username [usernames...]

       fprintd-verify [-f finger] [usename]

       fprintd-delete username [usernames...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the fprintd command-line utilities.

       The fprintd daemon is accessed through D-Bus by those command-line utilities.

ARGUMENTS

       username
	       The username for the user for which you want to query or modify the fingerprint database.

	       Not that fprintd-list and fprintd-delete require at least one username to be passed, and support multiple usernames.

	       fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify will use the current username if none are passed on the command-line.

       -f finger
	       For fprintd-enroll, the finger to enroll. Possible values are:

	       left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-finger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger, right-
	       middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.

	       The default is automatic, selecting the first available finger for swipe devices, or all the enrolled fingers, for press devices.

TEST APPLICATIONS

   fprintd-enroll
	       Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.

   fprintd-list
	       Will list the user's enrolled fingerprints.

   fprintd-verify
	       Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.

   fprintd-enroll
	       Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.
