NAME
       kbookmarkmerger - A program for merging a given set of bookmarks	into
       the user's list of bookmarks.

SYNOPSIS

       kbookmarkmerger {directory}

DESCRIPTION
       kbookmarkmerger is a program for	merging	a given	set of bookmarks into
       the user's set of bookmarks; if the user	doesn't	have any bookmarks
       created yet, a new bookmark list	is created and the given bookmarks are
       inserted	into it. While doing this, kbookmarkmerger keeps track of
       which files were	merged in a previous run already, so no	bookmark will
       get installed to	the user's bookmarks more than once.

       The traditionally used approach to achieve something like this was to
       use carefully crafted skeleton home directories when creating a new
       user account, to	provide	the user with a	standard set of	bookmarks. The
       problem with this approach is that after	the user account has been
       created,	no new bookmarks can be	propagated.

       This mechanism is useful	for system administrators who want to
       propagate a bookmark pointing to	a certain document (for	instance,
       important notes about the system) to all	users. Distributors might find
       it useful as well, for instance by augmenting the software packages
       they supply with	bookmark files which kbookmarkmerger merges into the
       user's bookmark list when the package is	installed. That	way,
       documentation shipped with a software package is	easily and visibly
       accessible right	after the package has been installed.

       The only	parameter required by kbookmarkmerger is the name of a
       directory which shall be	scanned	for bookmark files. All	files in the
       given directory will be considered for being merged into	the user's
       setup. The files	in the given directory should be valid XBEL files.

EXAMPLES
	   joe@hal9000:~> kbookmarkmerger /usr/local/extra-bookmarks

       Merges all bookmark files stored	in /usr/local/extra-bookmarks into
       joe's list of bookmarks.

STANDARDS
	   XBEL	specification[2]

RESTRICTIONS
       When determining	whether	a given	bookmark file has been merged into the
       user's bookmarks	already	or not,	kbookmarkmerger	merely looks at	the
       filename	of the bookmark	file - the contents are	not checked at all.
       This means that changing	a bookmark file	which was already merged into
       a user's	bookmarks will not trigger merging it once again.

       Also note that in case a	user modifies a	bookmark which was merged into
       his setup, the original bookmark	file will be left unmodified.
