0DESKTOP(1)0DESKTOP(1)NAME
0desktop -- add programs to the desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
0destkop [ URI ]
0destkop --manage
DESCRIPTION
0desktop can be used to create launchers for Zero Install applications in desktop environments supporting the freedesktop.org menu specifi-
cation (e.g. GNOME and KDE).
If the URI of a Zero Install application is given, this application is added. Without a URI, a dialog box is displayed prompting the user
to specify what to add. On success, a launcher is added to the user's menu which, when invoked, runs the application using the command
"0launch URI".
FILES
~/.local/share/applications
Default directory in which the .desktop file for the new launcher is created.

0ALIAS(1)0ALIAS(1)NAME
0alias -- create quick scripts to run 0launch
SYNOPSIS
0alias ALIAS [INTERFACE [MAIN]]
DESCRIPTION
Having to keep typing the full URI for a program each time you want to run it with 0launch is annoying. 0alias will create a little script
in your PATH to do it for you.
Note: the newer "0install add" command provides a more efficient alternative to using aliases.
EXAMPLES
A program can be invoked using 0launch:
0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit
To avoid having to keep entering the URI, create an alias:
0alias rox-edit http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit
To run Edit now:
rox-edit
To select a different version, or check for updates:
0alias rox-edit
If an interface provides more than one program, you can specify which one to use instead of the default. e.g.
0alias svn http://example.com/subversion
0alias svnadmin http://example.com/subversion svnadmin
(this is for older programs that use MAIN; for newer programs you may need to use --command instead)
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS-c=COMMAND, --command=COMMAND
The generated script will execute COMMAND rather than the default ("run").
-d=DIR, --dir=DIR
Install the script into directory DIR, rather than searching for a suitable directory in $PATH.
-h, --help
Show the built-in help text.
-m, --manpage
Display the manpage for the alias script given as the single argument. The alias can be an absolute pathname, or the name of a
script in $PATH. If the argument isn't an alias script, or if multiple arguments are given, then all arguments are passed to the
system 'man' command. This allows you to alias your man command like this:
alias man='0alias --manpage'
-r, --resolve
Print the interface URI for the given alias script to stdout.
-V, --version
Display version information.
