NAME
     gv-update-userconfig - update ~/.gv config file

SYNOPSIS
     gv-update-userconfig [filename]

DESCRIPTION
     gv-update-userconfig is a simple script to update an .gv config file to the
     current version of gv(1).

     You  can  specify a file which is used instead of .gv by using the optional
     filename argument. This is useful if the environment variable  XUSERSEARCH-
     PATH is used.

     This  is done by removing all entries known to cause problems with the cur-
     rent version of GNU gv (i.e. the one the version of  this	program  belongs
     to)  and  updating  the  version information in that file.  This resets all
     problematic items back to the default values.

     -h, --help, --usage
	    displays a short help message

     -r     removes all resources from ~/.gv that equal  the  default  resources
	    being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).

     -n     switches  to alternative navigation by adding resp. updating naviga-
	    tion resources to ~/.gv, i. e. after each page switch (except if se-
	    lected by the page number) the page is scrolled to top (if switching
	    forward) resp. to the bottom (if switching backward).

     -N     switches to standard navigation by adding resp. updating  navigation
	    resources to ~/.gv.

     -s     removes  navigation resources from ~/.gv and therefore enables stan-
	    dard navigation.

     -i     updates translation file. Using the optional filename  parameter  is
	    strongly  recommended  for	using this option. This option cannot be
	    used together with any of the other options.

BACKGROUND
     The $(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the  Save  button
     in one of the configuration dialogs.

     The  values  in  there  are  used, if there is no display-specific resource
     value (loaded from $(HOME)/.Xresources at login time or manually xrdb(1)).

     Sometimes older values miss things needed by the new GNU gv to  work  prop-
     erly.  This GNU gv will notice old (or missing) version information in this
     file and refuse to start until fixed.

SEE ALSO
     gv(1), xrdb(1).
