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 work-
       ing 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 (run-
	      ning 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 (im-
	      plies --new).  If	an XSM session manager is running and this op-
	      tion 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 configura-
	      tion is consulted	to run it.

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

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