FLAMEROBIN(1)						   Firebird Administration Tool 					     FLAMEROBIN(1)

NAME

     flamerobin -- management and data manipulation tool for the Firebird DBMS

SYNOPSIS

     flamerobin [-h directory | --home=directory] [-uh directory | --user-home=directory]

DESCRIPTION

     flamerobin is a graphical frontend to the Firebird DBMS.  It is small and simple, yet offers all the basic features needed to create and
     manipulate databases, execute queries and perform administrative tasks.

     This manual page only documents the run-time options and environment of flamerobin.  Information about using the GUI may be obtained by
     selecting the Help -> Manual menu item once the application is running.

     flamerobin uses two directory hierarchies for its normal operation.  The data directory contains the templates for property pages, the
     default configuration and the on-line documentation grouped into three sub-directories as follows:

     conf-defs	     default configuration
     docs	     on-line documentation
     html-templates  templates for property pages

     The user home directory contains the per-user configuration, comprising three entries:

     fr_databases.conf	this file stores the user's registered databases.
     fr_settings.conf	this file stores the user's preferences related to the flamerobin GUI.
     history		this directory holds the SQL statement history, one item per file.

     flamerobin accepts several options, which are described as follows:

     -h directory
     --home=directory
	     Use directory as the data directory (but see ENVIRONMENT below).

     -uh directory
     --user-home=directory
	     Use directory as the user home directory (but see ENVIRONMENT and CAVEATS below).

ENVIRONMENT

     FR_HOME
	     Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobin data directory.

	     If both -h (or --home) and this environment variable are set, the command line argument takes precedence.

     FR_USER_HOME
	     Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobin user home directory.

	     If both -uh (or --user-home) and this environment variable are set, the command line argument takes precedence.

FILES

     /usr/share/flamerobin
	     The default flamerobin data directory.

     ~/.flamerobin
	     The default flamerobin user home directory.

AUTHORS

     flamerobin was written by The FlameRobin Development Team <http://www.flamerobin.org/>.

CAVEATS

     flamerobin only writes files under the user home directory.  If flamerobin is configured so that this directory and the files contained
     therein are shared among several users or concurrent instances of flamerobin, no precaution is taken to avoid overwriting settings created by
     other users or other application instances.

NOTES

     The specification of the data directory and the user home directory (regardless of whether they occur in the environment or on the command
     line) may be the literal string ``$app'' which translates to a common data folder determined at compilation time, or ``$user'' which trans-
     lates to the user local data directory. These options currently have effect only on Windows platform.
