flamerobin — management and data manipulation tool for the Firebird DBMS

flamerobin was written by The FlameRobin Development Team ⟨http://www.flamerobin.org/⟩.

flamerobin only writes files under the userhomedirectory.  If flamerobin is  configured  so  that  this
       directory  and  the  files  contained  therein  are shared among several users or concurrent instances of
       flamerobin, no precaution is taken to  avoid  overwriting  settings  created  by  other  users  or  other
       application instances.

flamerobin  is  a  graphical  frontend  to the Firebird DBMS.  It is small and simple, yet offers all the
       basic features needed to create and manipulate databases,  execute  queries  and  perform  administrative
       tasks.

       This  manual  page  only documents the run-time options and environment of flamerobin.  Information about
       using the GUI may be obtained by selecting the Help -> Manual menu item once the application is running.

       flamerobin uses two directory hierarchies for its normal operation.   The  datadirectory  contains  the
       templates  for property pages, the default configuration and the on-line documentation grouped into three
       sub-directories as follows:

       conf-defs       default configuration
       docs            on-line documentation
       html-templates  templates for property pages

       The userhomedirectory contains the per-user configuration, comprising three entries:

       fr_databases.conf  this file stores the user's registered databases.
       fr_settings.conf   this file stores the user's preferences related to the flamerobin GUI.
       history            this directory holds the SQL statement history, one item per file.

       flamerobin accepts several options, which are described as follows:

       -hdirectory--home=directory
               Use directory as the datadirectory (but see “ENVIRONMENT” below).

       -uhdirectory--user-home=directory
               Use directory as the userhomedirectory (but see “ENVIRONMENT” and “CAVEATS” below).

       FR_HOME
               Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobindatadirectory.

               If both -h (or --home) and this environment variable are set, the  command  line  argument  takes
               precedence.

       FR_USER_HOME
               Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobinuserhomedirectory.

               If  both  -uh  (or  --user-home) and this environment variable are set, the command line argument
               takes precedence.

/usr/share/flamerobin
               The default flamerobindatadirectory.

       ~/.flamerobin
               The default flamerobinuserhomedirectory.

       The  specification of the datadirectory and the userhomedirectory (regardless of whether they occur in
       the environment or on the command line) may be the literal string “$app” which  translates  to  a  common
       data folder determined at compilation time, or “$user” which translates to the user local data directory.
       These options currently have effect only on Windows platform.
