NAME

       ROX-Filer - a simple graphical file manager

SYNOPSIS

       rox [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       ROX-Filer is a simple and easy to use graphical file manager for X11, the windowing system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

       It is also the core component of the ROX Desktop: http://rox.sourceforge.net

       Invoking rox opens each directory or file listed, or the current working directory if no arguments are given.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       -b, --border=PANEL
	      open PANEL.

       -B, --bottom=PANEL
	      open PANEL as a bottom-edge panel.

       -c, --client-id=ID
	      used for session management.

       -d, --dir=DIR
	      open DIR as directory (not as an application, even if it looks like one).

       -D, --close=DIR
	      close DIR and all its subdirectories.

       -h, --help
	      display help about the various options.

       -l, --left=PANEL
	      open PANEL as a left-edge panel.

       -m, --mime-type=FILE
	      print MIME type of FILE and exit.

       -n, --new
	      start a new filer, even if one already seems to be
		    running. This also prevents the filer from forking (running in the
		    background). This option is mainly useful for debugging.

       -p, --pinboard=PIN
	      use pinboard PIN as the pinboard.

       -r, --right=PANEL
	      open PANEL as a right-edge panel.

       -R, --RPC
	      read and invoke SOAP RPC from standard input (see the manual).

       -s, --show=FILE
	      open a directory showing FILE.

       -S, --rox-session
	      run  by  session manager, open the default panel and pinboard (implies --new).  If an XSM session manager is running and this option
	      is used then ROX-Filer will ask to be automatically restarted if it crashes.

       -t, --top=PANEL
	      open PANEL as a top-edge panel.

       -u, --user
	      show user name in each window.

       -U, --url=URI
	      run URI as a file or directory. If URI is a file: url and refers to a file on the local machine then it is converted to a local file
	      name:   rox  -U file:///tmp is equivalent to rox /tmp.  If the URI is some other scheme the shared URI handler configuration is con-
	      sulted to run it.

       -v, --version
	      display the version information and exit.

       -x, --examine=FILE
	      FILE has changed; re-examine it.
