Name
floppyd_installtest - tests whether floppyd is installed and running
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo
documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a running
floppyd daemon. This is usefull, if you have a small frontend script to
mtools, which decides whether to use floppyd or not.
floppyd_installtest [-f] Connect-String
If the -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does a full X-Cookie
authentication and complains if this does not work.
The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section:
hostname:displaynumber[/baseport]

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools’s texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information
has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at
‘http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html’
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs’ info mode),
run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
