NAME

       worker - file manager for the X Window System

SYNOPSIS

       worker [options]
       worker [directory1[ directory2]]

DESCRIPTION

       worker  is a graphical file manager for the X Window System.  It uses the classical two-panel view of the
       files and directories.  It has many internal operations while any external program can also be  used  for
       operating on the selected items.
       You can easily add actions to filetypes or buttons with the builtin configuration program.
       For details read the documentation available at the Worker homepage (see below).

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              This shows a little help about options and quits immediately

       -V, --version
              This shows the program version

       -c, --config=<path>
              Use given path for configuration data

       --override_xim=<yes/no>
              Override global XIM setting to use simple method

       Any other argument will be interpreted as directory to show on the left side.
       A second argument can be a directory to show on the right side.
