NAME

       emelFM2

SYNOPSIS

       a GTK+2 file manager

DESCRIPTION

       emelFM2  is  a  file manager for UNIX-like operating systems. It uses a
       simple and efficient interface pioneered by  Norton  Commander  in  the
       1980’s.  The main window is divided into three "panes" or "panels". Two
       of them show information about  the  contents  of  selected  filesystem
       directories.  That  information  is  presented  as text. The third pane
       shows the output of commands executed within the program.

       A built-in command-line, toolbar buttons or assigned keys can  be  used
       to   initiate   commands.  A  flexible  filetyping  mechanism  provides
       user-determined actions for desired filetypes.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -1,--one= DIR
              At session-start, show DIR in the first filelist pane.

       -2,--two= DIR
              At session-start, show DIR in the second filelist pane.

       -c,--config= DIR
              Set  the   configuration-data   directory   to   DIR   (default:
              ~/.config/emelfm2).

       -e,--encoding= TYPE
              Set the filesystem character encoding to TYPE.

       -f,--fallback-encoding= TYPE
              Set the fallback encoding to TYPE (default: ISO-8859-1).

       -i,--ignore-problems
              Ignore the encoding/locale problems (use at your own risk!).

       -l,--log-all
              Maximise GTK+2 error logging.

       -m,--daemon
              Detach  the  emelFM2 session from its controlling terminal. Will
              not work when emelFM2 is compiled with debug support.

       -r,--run-at-start= COMMAND
              Run COMMAND immediately after session start.

       -s,--set-option OPTION_NAME=string-value
              Set one-line  config  option.  "OPTION_NAME=string-value"  is  a
              string in the format used in the config file.

       -t,--trash= DIR
              Set     the     trash     directory     to     DIR     (default:
              ~/.local/share/Trash/files).

       Help options:

       -h,--help
              Display a brief help message.

       -u,--usage
              Display a brief usage message.

       -v,--version
              Display the version and build information.

       These only work when emelFM2 is compiled with debug support:

       -d,--debug= N
              Set the debug level. N = digit from 1 (lowest) to  5  (highest).
              Default is 5.

       -x,--verbose
              Display  time  and  location information in debug messages. Only
              works when emelFM2 is compiled with debug support.
