NAME
xdtm - graphical shell for X
SYNOPSIS
xdtm [ -cf configuration_file ] [ -delay time ] [ -dmfont
font_name ] [ standard X options ]
DESCRIPTION
The X Desktop Manager is a graphical shell for the X Window
System. It provides facilities to list directories
graphically, view, edit, copy, move, delete, and modify
permissions on files, and to launch programs.
It comes with comprehensive help available from within the
program, this should be consulted for instructions on how to
use the program.
The -cf option tells xdtm to use the following file as the
configuration file. If this file is not found xdtm will try
the users home directory for the file .xdtmrc, if that fails
the system xdtmrc will be used.
The -delay option is used on systems with NFS mounted
directories. It specifies the time in seconds to delay
between updating a directories contents and updating the
directory listing within xdtm. A value of 1 second is
usually enough unless the network is very heavily loaded.
The valid range is between 1 and 5 seconds.
The -dmfont option is used to specify the font to be used to
list the filenames in the directory list. Because this font
is used in the long listing mode within which spaces are
used to align the columns of data a fixed width font should
be specified.
Any standard X Toolkit command line options may be used in
addition to the ones already listed above.
DIAGNOSTICS
Xdtm will display any standard error output from the
commands it executes. It will also complain about any errors
in accessing files.
