floppyd_installtest(1)	     General Commands Manual	  floppyd_installtest(1)

Name
     floppyd_installtest - tests whether floppyd is installed and running

Note of warning
     This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu-
     mentation, 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 useful, if you have a small  front-end  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 au-
     thentication and complains if this does not work.

     The  connect-String  has the format described in the floppyd-section: host-
     name:displaynumber[/baseport]

Viewing the texi doc
     This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's  texinfo  docu-
     mentation.  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/man-
     ual/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 con-
     ventions used in info.
