NAME
       rodent,	rodent-forked,	rodent-desk, rodent-getpass, rodent-[plugin] -
       Advanced	filemanager with graphic shell.

SYNOPSIS
       Rodent is fast, multicore, small	and powerful file manager for the  GNU
       operating system	(but it	also works in BSD). Rodent is *not* a fileman-
       ager for	dummies. Emphasis is on	ease of	use for	the advanced user, not
       the computer illiterate.

       rodent with no parameters will open the users home directory.
       rodent-forked  with  no parameters will open the	rodent top level where
       plugins are listed.
       rodent-desk will	open the deskview filemanager. The deskview can	be set
       to a fixed directory, to	the rodent top level where plugins are listed,
       or be navigatable (does that word exist?).

       rodent-getpass will open	a dialog to query  for	a  password.  This  is
       called  when  sudo -A or	ssh request a password,	passphras or confirma-
       tion from the user.

       rodent-[plugin] This will open the rodent at  the  specified  [plugin].
       Current included	plugins	include	the following:

       rodent-fstab  Monitors and allows mount operations from partitions, usb
       devices and mount points	listed in the fstab file.
       rodent-ps Show current process tree and allow signalling	of running  or
       stopped processes
       rodent-dotdesktop  Processes  application  .desktop  files,  creating a
       pseudo file structure based on application categories. This  plugin  is
       also responsible	form managing the application popup menu.
       rodent-fuse This	is a custom file system	which contains several plugins
       to  different  types  of	 network  and  user space filesystems. It is a
       straight	forward	alternative to	gvfs.  This  plugin  contains  rodent-
       sshfs, rodent-ecryptfs, rodent-ftp, rodent-obex,	rodent-nfs and rodent-
       cifs.

       rodent-sshfs This plugin	allows mount management	and navigation of sftp
       filesystems.
       rodent-ecryptfs	This  plugin allows mount management and navigation of
       ecryt filesystems.
       rodent-ftp This plugin allows mount management and  navigation  of  ftp
       filesystems.  This method of remote file	access is rather archaic.  ro-
       dent-sshfs should be used instead, if available.
       rodent-obex This	plugin allows mount management and navigation of  obex
       filesystems.  This  is  what's behind bluetooth filesystem connections.
       Bluetooth is pretty slow, but it	works cool if you want to  connect  to
       your  phone without taking it out of your pocket. Exchange of pins from
       computer	to device on initial connection	is a little nerdy.
       rodent-nfs This plugin allows mount management and  navigation  of  nfs
       filesystems.  This  is  the  most  robust network filesystem around. It
       should be preferred for connection within secure	networks.
       rodent-cifs This	plugin allows mount management and navigation of  cifs
       filesystems. Cifs is replacement	of smb filesystems, the	network	proto-
       col used	by Windows.

       rodent-smb This plugin allows navigation	of the smb network to find the
       adequate	remote share to	mount with rodent-cifs.
       rodent-workgroup	 This plugin queries the master	smb browser to display
       the available workgroups. This is a child plugin	for rodent-smb.
       rodent-shares This plugin shows the shares available  on	 the  selected
       remote smb server. This is a child plugin for rodent-workgroup.
