NAME

       doublecmd - Twin-panel (commander-style) file manager.

SYNOPSIS

       doublecmd [-C] [-T] [-P L|R] [ path1 ] [ path2 ]
       doublecmd [-C] [-T] [-P L|R] [-L path1 ] [-R path2 ]

DESCRIPTION

       Double  Commander  is a free cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side.  It is
       inspired by Total Commander and features some new ideas.

OPTIONS

       The switches are NOT case sensitive.

       <path1> [<path2>]
              If one path passed then load it into the active panel. If two paths are  passed  then  load  first
              path into left panel and second in the right panel.
              Directory names containing spaces must be put in double quotes.
              Always specify the full path name.

       -C, --client
              If  Double  Commander  is already running, activate it and pass the path(s) in the command line to
              that instance.

       -L <path>
              Set directory to show in the left panel.

       -R <path>
              Set directory to show in the right panel.

       -P L|R Sets the active panel when program starts: -P L for left and -P R for right.

       -T     Opens the passed directory(ies) in new tab(s)

       --config-dir=<path>
              Set custom directory path with Double Commander configurations files.
              Default is $HOME/.config/doublecmd.

       --servername=x
              Sets the name of the  instance  (server)  Double  Commander,  which  can  then  be  used  to  pass
              parameters.
              If there is no already existing instance, then create it.
              If  there  is  already existing instance, and the current one is a client, then send params to the
              server (i.e. to the existing instance).
              If there is already existing instance, and the current one is not a client, (i.e. "Allow only  one
              copy  of  DC  at  a  time"  is  false and no --client / -c options were given), then user-provided
              servername is altered: firstly, just add a trailing number "2".
              If there is already some trailing number, then increase it by 1, until we found a servername  that
              isn't busy yet, and then create instance with this servername.

       --no-splash
              Disables the splash screen at startup DC.
