NAME
     Thunar - File Manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS
     Thunar [options] [[URI]...]

     Thunar [options] --bulk-rename [[URI]...]

     Thunar [options] --quit

DESCRIPTION
     Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environ-
     ment. It has been designed from the ground up to be lighweight with special
     focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not
     include any confusing or useless options.

INVOCATION
     Thunar  takes  a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new file
     manager windows or files that should be selected in new file  manager  win-
     dows.  The  URIs  may be specified as either file: or trash: URIs, absolute
     paths or paths relative to the current directory from which Thunar is being
     invoked. If no URIs are specified, the current folder will be opened  in  a
     new file manager window.

     When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows will be
     opened,  but  instead the URIs will be passed to the bulk renamer. The bulk
     renamer allows one to rename several files or folders at once using differ-
     ent renamer modules.

   Options
     -?, --help
	 Print brief help and exit.

     -V, --version
	 Print version information and exit.

     -B, --bulk-rename
	 Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer.

     --daemon
	 Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last  window  is  closed,
	 but  keep  it running to speed up opening new windows later on. This is
	 the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce session or
	 when using D-Bus activation.

     --display=DISPLAY
	 Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface.

     -q, --quit
	 Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned  using
	 the  --daemon	option).  This command should be used whenever Thunar is
	 upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance is reused.
