NAME
     ROX-Filer - a simple graphical file manager

SYNOPSIS
     rox [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
     ROX-Filer	is  a simple and easy to use graphical file manager for X11, the
     windowing system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

     It is also the  core  component  of  the  ROX  Desktop:  http://rox.source-
     forge.net

     Invoking  rox  opens  each directory or file listed, or the current working
     directory if no arguments are given.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
     -b, --border=PANEL
	    open PANEL.

     -B, --bottom=PANEL
	    open PANEL as a bottom-edge panel.

     -c, --client-id=ID
	    used for session management.

     -d, --dir=DIR
	    open DIR as directory (not as an application, even if it looks  like
	    one).

     -D, --close=DIR
	    close DIR and all its subdirectories.

     -h, --help
	    display help about the various options.

     -l, --left=PANEL
	    open PANEL as a left-edge panel.

     -m, --mime-type=FILE
	    print MIME type of FILE and exit.

     -n, --new
	    start a new filer, even if one already seems to be
		  running. This also prevents the filer from forking (running in
	    the
		  background). This option is mainly useful for debugging.

     -p, --pinboard=PIN
	    use pinboard PIN as the pinboard.

     -r, --right=PANEL
	    open PANEL as a right-edge panel.

     -R, --RPC
	    read and invoke SOAP RPC from standard input (see the manual).

     -s, --show=FILE
	    open a directory showing FILE.

     -S, --rox-session
	    run by session manager, open the default panel and pinboard (implies
	    --new).   If  an  XSM  session manager is running and this option is
	    used then ROX-Filer will ask to be	automatically  restarted  if  it
	    crashes.

     -t, --top=PANEL
	    open PANEL as a top-edge panel.

     -u, --user
	    show user name in each window.

     -U, --url=URI
	    run  URI as a file or directory. If URI is a file: url and refers to
	    a file on the local machine then it is converted  to  a  local  file
	    name:   rox -U file:///tmp is equivalent to rox /tmp.  If the URI is
	    some other scheme the shared URI handler configuration is  consulted
	    to run it.

     -v, --version
	    display the version information and exit.

     -x, --examine=FILE
	    FILE has changed; re-examine it.
