NAME
ROX-Filer - a simple graphical file manager

SYNOPSIS
rox [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

ROX-Filer is a simple and easy to use graphical file manager for X11, the windowing system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

It is also the core component of the ROX Desktop: http://rox.sourceforge.net

Invoking rox opens each directory or file listed, or the current working directory if no arguments are given.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

-b, --bottom=PANEL
    open PANEL as a bottom-edge panel.

-c, --client-id=ID
    used for session management.

-d, --dir=DIR
    open DIR as directory (not as an application, even if it looks like one).

-D, --close=DIR
    close DIR and all its subdirectories.

-h, --help
    display help about the various options.

-l, --left=PANEL
    open PANEL as a left-edge panel.

-m, --mime-type=FILE
    print MIME type of FILE and exit.

-n, --new
    start a new filer, even if one already seems to be running. This also prevents the filer from forking (running in the background), which is useful for debugging.

    override window manager control of panels.

-p, --pinboard=PIN
    use pinboard PIN as the pinboard.

-r, --right=PANEL
    open PANEL as a right-edge panel.

-t, --top=PANEL
    open PANEL as a top-edge panel.
