NAME¶
gopen - open files
SYNOPSIS¶
gopen [
-a application] [
-o] [
-p]
[
-NXHost hostname] [
filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
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 specifing 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.
OPTIONS¶
- -a application
- use application to open filename
- -o
- open filename (may be used in conjunction with -p ).
- -p
- print filename instead of opening.
- -NXHost hostname
- attach to remote window server on hostname
EXAMPLES¶
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 -a CodeEditor MySourceFile.m
To print the .plan file in your home folder, use the
-p flag:
gopen -p ~/.plan
BUGS¶
Using the
-a application 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
-a application argument but no
filename
present, the application is simply launched without opening a specific file.
