vfu configuration is divided in two parts (files):

       vfu.conf

       This file contains configuration for external editor and pager, favorite directories, file-type
       colorization. This is plain text file which format is described below. vfu only reads vfu.conf, it never
       writes in it!

       vfu.options

       This file contains all Options/Toggles which can be changed from inside vfu -- Options menu. vfu.options
       is binary file and is overwritten on vfu exit or on change option event! Deleting this file will reset
       vfu toggles to default values. vfu.options is not portable between vfu versions!

   Locationofvfu.confvfu.conf can be placed as any of:

        $HOME/.vfu/vfu.conf

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.conf  (if $RC_PREFIX is exported)

        /etc/vfu.conf

        /usr/local/etc/vfu.conf

        /usr/local/vfu.conf

   Otherfileslocation
       All other files including vfu.options are placed in:

        $HOME/.vfu/

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/

       What is $RC_PREFIX and why to use it? Some more information for this can be found in the CONFIG file
       which is supplied with vfu package.

vfu has following features:

        - Fast one-key commands
        - Extended completion and wildcard expansion
        - Directory tree with sizes (incl. sizes cache)
        - File-type colorization (extension and type)
        - Archives support (TAR, TGZ, BZ2, and many more)
        - Simple FTP support through archive-like interface
        - Internal text/hex file viewer and editor (optional)
        - Extensive user-defined external support/utils
        - Regular expressions selection and search
        - Multiple file masks
        - and much more...

       It is supposed that only source packages will be distributed.  However sometimes binary packages will be
       released, but not often.  VFU packages are named in this way:

        vfu-X.xx.src.tgz

       source package for version X.xx

        vfu-X.xx.bin.platform.tgz

       binary package for version X.xx for `platform' platform

       examples:

        vfu-4.22.src.tgz

        vfu-4.22.bin.linux.glibc.tgz

        vfu-4.22.bin.linux.libc5.tgz

        vfu-4.22.bin.dos.tgz

       All packages are TAR+GZIP .tgz, bz2 and zip are available on request.

       NOTE: Always check HISTORY document -- it often contains some useful notes!

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.conf

       configuration, explained above

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.options

       options, explained above

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.history

       contains history lines

        $HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.tree

       contains directory tree

       If you don't set $RC_PREFIX configuration files are:

        $HOME/.vfu/vfu.conf
        $HOME/.vfu/vfu.options
        $HOME/.vfu/vfu.history
        $HOME/.vfu/vfu.tree

       vfu - VFU is console (text-mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux

        -h
       prints help for command line options

        -i
       runs vfu in interactive mode (can be used with \-d)

        -d path
       changes working directory to `path'

        -r
       rebuild directory tree

        -t
       view directory tree only

       These options are for using vfu in partial non-interactive mode.

        example: vfu -d /usr/local -i

       vfu [options]
