emelfm2(1): - Linux man page

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

emelFM2 is a file manager for UNIX-like operating systems. It uses a simple and efficient interface pioneered by Norton Commander in the 1980's. The main window is divided into three "panes" or "panels". Two of them show information about the contents of selected filesystem directories. That information is presented as text. The third pane shows the output of commands executed within the program.

A built-in command-line, toolbar buttons or assigned keys can be used to initiate commands. A flexible filetyping mechanism provides user-determined actions for desired filetypes.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

-1,--one= DIR: At session-start, show DIR in the first filelist pane.
-2,--two= DIR: At session-start, show DIR in the second filelist pane.
-c,--config= DIR: Set the configuration-data directory to DIR (default: ~/.config/emelfm2).
-d,--debug= N: Set the debug level. N = digit from 1 (error verbosity) to 5 (debug verbosity). Only works when emelFM2 is compiled with debug support.
