KBOOKMARKMERGER(1) KDE User's Manual KBOOKMARKMERGER(1)NAME
kbookmarkmerger - A program for merging a given set of bookmarks into the user's list of bookmarks.
SYNOPSIS
kbookmarkmerger [Qt Options...] [KDE Options...] {directory}
DESCRIPTION
kbookmarkmerger is a program for merging a given set of bookmarks into the user's set of bookmarks; if the user doesn't have any bookmarks
created yet, a new bookmark list is created and the given bookmarks are inserted into it. While doing this, kbookmarkmerger keeps track of
which files were merged in a previous run already, so no bookmark will get installed to the user's bookmarks more than once. In case KDE is
running while kbookmarkmerger is executed, the KDE bookmark subsystem will be informed of any changes to the user's bookmarks, so that all
applications accessing that information (i.e. Konqueror) will pick the changes up instantly.
The traditionally used approach to achieve something like this was to use carefully crafted skeleton home directories when creating a new
user account, to provide the user with a standard set of bookmarks. The problem with this approach is that after the user account has been
created, no new bookmarks can be propagated.
This mechanism is useful for system administrators who want to propagate a bookmark pointing to a certain document (for instance, important
notes about the system) to all users. Distributors might find it useful as well, for instance by augmenting the software packages they sup-
ply with bookmark files which kbookmarkmerger merges into the user's bookmark list when the package is installed. That way, documentation
shipped with a software package is easily and visibly accessible right after the package has been installed.
The only parameter required by kbookmarkmerger is the name of a directory which shall be scanned for bookmark files. All files in the given
directory will be considered for being merged into the user's setup. The files in the given directory should be valid XBEL files.

EXAMPLES
joe@hal9000:~> kbookmarkmerger /usr/local/extra-bookmarks
Merges all bookmark files stored in /usr/local/extra-bookmarks into joe's list of bookmarks.
STANDARDS
XBEL specification: http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/
RESTRICTIONS
When determining whether a given bookmark file has been merged into the user's bookmarks already or not, kbookmarkmerger merely looks at
the filename of the bookmark file - the contents are not checked at all. This means that changing a bookmark file which was already merged
into a user's bookmarks will not trigger merging it once again.
Also note that in case a user modifies a bookmark which was merged into his setup, the original bookmark file will be left unmodified.

yafc - Yet another FTP client
SYNOPSIS
yafc [options] [proto://][user[:password]@]hostname[:port][/directory]
DESCRIPTION
This manual documents Yafc. Yafc is quite a powerful ftp client. It is a console interface to the ftp protocol. If you're looking for a
nice GUI client, Yafc is not for you. If you, however, use ftp often and want a fast, powerful, friendly client Yafc is here for you...
Some of the features are recursive get/put/ls/rm, nohup transfers, colored ls, cached directory listings, autologin and bookmarks, powerful
aliases and extensive tab completion.
OPTIONS -a, --anon
Try an anonymous login, ie login as "anonymous" with your email address as password. Your email address is first looked for in the
config file ("anon_password"), then in the $EMAIL environment variable. If it's not found, a guess is made from your user- and host-
name.
-d, --debug
Print all messages sent to/from server.
-D, --dump-rc
Prints the default configuration file to standard output.
-m MECH, --mechanism=MECH
Try security mechanism MECH when logging in to the host specified on the command line. This will override any 'mech' options in
yafcrc or bookmarks. MECH is a colon-separated string, supported values are "krb4", "krb5" and "none". The mechanisms are tried in
the order specified.
-n, --norc
Do not read the users configuration file. This will cause yafc to use its default settings.
-p, --noproxy
Do not connect via the proxy. This should be used if connection to a host on the local network.
-q, --quiet
Do not print the welcome message with copyright information when starting Yafc.
-r FILE, --rcfile=FILE
Read another configuration file.
-t FILE, --trace[=FILE]
Enable creation of trace file. Trace files are mainly for debugging and includes every response and command Yafc receives/sends. If
FILE is specified, use that file instead of the default trace file (~/.yafc/trace/trace.pid, where pid is the process id number of
Yafc.) Trace files can grow quite large and can safely be deleted.
-u, --noauto
Do not login automagically to the host specified on the command line. You can still use bookmark aliases, though.
-U, --noalias
As ---noauto, but bookmark aliases is disabled (for host on command line).
-v, --verbose
Print all responses received (without response code.)
-w, --wait=TIME
Use a different time to wait between connection attempts, in seconds. This overrides the value set by "connect_wait_time" in the
configuration file.
-W, --workdir=DIR
Use a different working directory for configuration files and temporary files. Default is ~/.yafc.
-V, --version
Print version information on stdout and exit successfully.
-h, --help
Print a short help description on stdout and exit successfully.
