IXPC(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 IXPC(1)

NAME
     ixpc - ixp client

SYNOPSIS
     ixpc [-a address] action file
     ixpc -v

DESCRIPTION
   Overview
     ixpc  is  a client to access a 9P file server from the command line or from
     shell scripts. It can be used to configure wmii(1).

   Options
     -a address
	    Lets you specify the address to which ixpc will establish a  connec-
	    tion.  If  this option is not supplied, and the environment variable
	    IXP_ADDRESS is set, ixpc will use this value as  its  address.  Cur-
	    rently,  the address can only be a unix socket file or a tcp socket.
	    The syntax for address is taken  (along  with  many  other	profound
	    ideas)   from   the  Plan  9  operating  system  and  has  the  form
	    unix!/path/to/socket for unix socket  files,  and  tcp!hostname!port
	    for tcp sockets.

     -v     Prints version information to stdout, then exits.

     The syntax of the actions is as follows:

     write  Writes  the supplied data from the standard input to file, overwrit-
	    ing any previous data.  The data to be written is arbitrary and only
	    gains meaning (and restrictions) when  it  is  interpreted	by  wmi-
	    iwm(1).  See EXAMPLES below.

     xwrite
	    The  same as write, but the data is taken from subsequent arguments,
	    rather than the standard input.

     create
	    Creates file or directory. If the file exists, nothing is done.

     ls     Lists files and directories.

     read   Reads file or directory contents.

     remove
	    Removes file or directory tree.

ENVIRONMENT
     IXP_ADDRESS
	    See above.

EXAMPLES
     ixpc ls /
	    This prints the root directory of the wmii	filesystem,  if  IXP_AD-
	    DRESS  is set to the address of wmii. For more information about the
	    contents of this filesystem, see wmiiwm(1).

     ixpc xwrite /ctl quit
	    Write 'quit' to the main control file of the wmii filesystem, effec-
	    tively leaving wmii.

     ixpc write /keys < keys.txt
	    Replace the contents of /keys with the contents of keys.txt
