NAME¶
/etc/X11/xfm/xfm_dev - xfm device configuration
DESCRIPTION¶
When starting
xfm(1) - the X file and application manager - reads this
file to determine mount and umount commands for specific directories.
One entry per line. Lines starting with a hash (#) and empty lines are ignored.
Each line consists out of three or four fields, separated by colons (:).
Backslashes and colons within those fields have to be escaped using
backslashes.
FIELDS¶
directory¶
The first field describes which directory this entry is about. If this this
directory or and child directory of this is opened, while no other one is
open, the mount command is executed. If the last file window showing this
directory or a child thereof, the unmount command is executed.
This field can also be the special string
GETFSENT, which is described in
a special paragraph below.
mount command¶
The second field is the command to execute for mounting. It is given the shell
as one argument after a
-c.
unmount command¶
The third field is the command to execute for unmounting. It is given the shell
as one argument after a
-c.
icon¶
The fourth field is optional. It is only used to specify an icon for the 0 No
icon field is equivalent to an icon field containing
dev_disk.xpm,
which differs from an empty icon field. (See
xfm(5)).
automatic configuration via GETFSENT¶
If the first field of an entry is the special string
GETFSENT, and the
systen xfm was compiled on had a
fstab.h file, the
getfsent(3)
function is used to get mount point information.
Every mount point which contains a mount option starting with
user. (like
user, or
users) for which no specification does yet exists is
added to the list.
mount and unmount command¶
These commands are expanded with a space and the directory in question and the
result is handled a in the normal case. This needs some fixing with
directories containing spaces.
icon field¶
The icon field can in this case be appended by an arbitrary number of rules of
the form
,fstype=iconname
If the filesystem has type
fstype, the icon
iconname is used
instead.
EXAMPLES¶
/media/cdrom:mount /media/cdrom:umount /media/cdrom:cdrom.xpm
/floppy:mount /floppy:umount /floppy
GETFSENT:mount:umount:dev_disk.xpm,iso9660=dev_cdrom.xpm,ext2=bla.xpm
FILES¶
- $HOME/.xfm/xfm_dev
- Unless otherwise specified in the X resources, this is the
first location xfm looks for this file.
- /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_dev
- Unless otherwise specified in the X resources, this file is
tried when the previous could not be read.
- /etc/fstab
- This is the file getfsent most likely gets its
information from.
