Description
This manual page documents briefly the nemo command.
Nemo is the file manager for the Cinnamon desktop.
Name
nemo - the Cinnamon File Manager
Note On The Root User
Ordinarily, nemo and nemo-desktop treat being run as the root user as special, with certain restrictions
and UI changes. This behavior can be bypassed via a gsettings key. You can use the following command to
enable/disable this override:
gsettings set org.nemo.preferences treat-root-as-normal true|false
Options
Nemo follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A
summary of options is included below.
-g--geometry=GEOMETRY
Create the initial window with the given geometry.
-t--tabs Open URIs in tabs.
--existing-window

-n--no-default-window

--fix-cache
