Name

       floppyd_installtest - tests whether floppyd is installed and running

Note of warning

       This  manpage  has  been  automatically  generated  from  mtools's  texinfo documentation, and may not be
       entirely accurate or complete.  See the end of this man page for details.

Description

       Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a running floppyd daemon. This is useful, if you
       have a small front-end script to mtools, which decides whether to use floppyd or not.

       floppyd_installtest [-f]  Connect-String

       If  the  -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does a full X-Cookie authentication and complains if
       this does not work.

       The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section: hostname:displaynumber[/baseport]

Viewing the texi doc

       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process
       is  only  approximative,  and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
       translation process.  Indeed, these items have no  appropriate  representation  in  the  manpage  format.
       Moreover,  not  all information has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly advise you
       to use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to  view  the  texinfo
       doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

                     ./configure; make info

       The  texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in the info version certain examples
       are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
