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.
