mldonkey_files

MLDONKEY_FILES(1)						  [FIXME: manual]						 MLDONKEY_FILES(1)

NAME

       mldonkey_files - a files source filter for mlnet init file.

SYNOPSIS

       mldonkey_files {[--join] | [--split network_name] | [--test network_name]} [-f0 file] [-f1 file] [-f2 file] [-q]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the mldonkey_files command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program is Debian GNU/Linux specific.

       This script was written by the debian developer to permit smoother transition to mldonkey without fasttrack support. MLDonkey suffer from a
       fasttrack file GPL-problematic. The support of fasttrack has been removed from the upstream source.

       -f0 file
	   This option is needed. First part of the tri term split/join expression

       -f1 file
	   This option is needed. Second part of the tri term split/join expression

       -f2 file
	   This option is needed. Third part of the tri term split/join expression

       --join
	   This command will merge -f1 and -f2 into file -f0. Be warned that no confirmation will be asked.  -f0 will be erased.

       --split network_name
	   This command will separate file source entry concerning the network network_name from the -f0 file and the rest. The entry concerning
	   network_name will be put in -f1 file, the rest in -f2 file. Be warned that no confirmation will be asked.  -f1 and -f2 files will be
	   erased.

       --test network_name
	   This command will search file source entry concerning the network network_name in the -f0 file. If one file comes from the given
	   network, the exit code will be 0 else 1.

       -q
	   Quiet mode.

       Actions --split, --test and --join are exclusive. You can only perform one at the same time.
