Name¶
floppyd_installtest - tests whether floppyd is installed and running
Note of warning¶
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the end of
this man page for details.
Description¶
Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a running floppyd
daemon. This is useful, if you have a small front-end script to mtools, which
decides whether to use floppyd or not.
floppyd_installtest [-f] Connect-String
If the -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does a full X-Cookie
authentication and complains if this does not work.
The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section:
hostname:
displaynumber[/
baseport]

Viewing the texi doc¶
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items,
such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage
format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage
version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. See the
end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

- To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
- *
- To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at
`
http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

- To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info
version certain examples are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions
used in info.
