GNUstep                                            August 2003                                          GOPEN(1)

       Using the -aapplication argument, gopen allows you to open any kind of file  with  any  application  you
       want.  This  does, however, not work with applications employing the NSDocument architecture as they will
       only receive filenames whose types the  application  has  registered.   To  circumvent  this  limitation,
       applications may advertise their ability to open all kinds of files through the "*" filetype.  When gopen
       is used with only the -aapplication argument but no filename
        present, the application is simply launched without opening a specific file.

       The gopen command allows you open a file (or directory) as if you had double clicked the object's icon.

       It  is  possible  to  specify one or more filenames which are interpreted relative to the current working
       directory.

       By default, gopen will open filename with the application currently assigned to the file's extension. But
       by specifying the -a flag on the command  line  you  can  tell  gopen  to  open  the  file  with  another
       application.

       You can also directly print a file without ( -p ) or with ( -p-o ) opening it.

       As  with  most  other  GNUstep  software,  it is easily possible to attach the process to a remote window
       server using the -NXHost flag.

       Open all files with a .txt extension in the current directory:

       gopen*.txt

       To open a source file in CodeEditor (instead of the current default application), type:

       gopen-aCodeEditorMySourceFile.m

       To print the .plan file in your home folder, use the -p flag:

       gopen-p~/.plan
