VFU(1)			       VFU File Manager				VFU(1)

NAME
       vfu - VFU is console (text-mode) file manager for UNIX/Linux

SYNOPSIS
       vfu [options]

DESCRIPTION
       vfu has following features:

	- Fast one-key commands
	- Extended completition and wildcard expansion
	- Directory tree with sizes (incl. sizes cache)
	- File-type colorization (extension and type)
	- Archives support (TAR, TGZ, BZ2, and many more)
	- Simple FTP support through archive-like interface
	- Internal text/hex file viewer and editor (optional)
	- Extensive user-defined external support/utils
	- Regular expressions selection and search
	- Multiple file masks
	- and much more...

OPTIONS
	-h
       prints help for command line options

	-i
       runs vfu in interactive mode (can be used with \-d)

	-d path
       changes working directory to `path'

	-r
       rebuild directory tree

	-t
       view directory tree only

       These options are for using vfu in partial non-interactive mode.

	example: vfu -d /usr/local -i


CONFIGURATION
       vfu configuration is divided in two parts (files):

       vfu.conf

       This file contains configuration for external editor and pager,
       favorite directories, file-type colorization. This is plain text file
       which format is described below. vfu only reads vfu.conf, it never
       writes in it!

       vfu.options

       This file contains all Options/Toggles which can be changed from inside
       vfu -- Options menu. vfu.options is binary file and is overwritten on
       vfu exit or on change option event! Deleting this file will reset vfu
       toggles to default values. vfu.options is not portable between vfu ver‐
       sions!

       Location of vfu.conf

       vfu.conf can be placed as any of:

	$HOME/.vfu/vfu.conf

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/vfu.conf  (if $RC_PREFIX is exported)

	/etc/vfu.conf

	/usr/local/etc/vfu.conf

	/usr/local/vfu.conf

       Other files location

       All other files including vfu.options are placed in:

	$HOME/.vfu/

	$HOME/$RC_PREFIX/vfu/

       What is "$RC_PREFIX" and why to use it? Some more information for this
       can be found in the CONFIG file which is supplied with vfu package.

VFU.CONF
       This is a sample copy of vfu.conf with appropriate comments:

DISTRIBUTION
       It is supposed that only source packages will be distributed.  However
       sometimes binary packages will be released, but not often.  VFU pack‐
       ages are named in this way:

	vfu-X.xx.src.tgz

       source package for version X.xx

	vfu-X.xx.bin.platform.tgz

       binary package for version X.xx for `platform' platform

       examples:

	vfu-4.00.src.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.linux.glibc.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.linux.libc5.tgz

	vfu-4.00.bin.dos.tgz

       All packages are TAR+GZIP .tgz, bz2 and zip are available on request.

       NOTE: Always check HISTORY document -- it often contains some usefull
       notes!
