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.
