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.

FORMAT

       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.
