NAME

       fbautostart - Autostart all XDG applications

SYNOPSIS

       fbautostart [options]

DESCRIPTION

       fbautostart(1) is an XDG complaint startup tool. This will go through the directories set up by the spec, and start all applications that
       match it's current identifier. You may change that identifier with the FBXDG_DE env var.

       This tool has almost no library dependencies and was written to be smart about that sort of stuff. There is a greater then average chance
       that you will find a bug, since it is a from-scratch implementation of the .desktop spec. Pleas report bugs. Please.

FILES

       ~/.config/autostart
	   This folder contains the default user XDG dot-desktop files that will be run ( unless it's overridden by an ENV variable )

       /etc/xdg
	   This folder contains the default system XDG dot-desktop files that will be run ( unless it's overridden by an ENV variable )

OPTIONS

       Sadly, there are no flags in this particular release.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	   The XDG root directory for the user's startup files, which may override the global startup files.

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	   The root XDG directory, where global XDG files are maintained.

       FBXDG_DE
	   Development environment that we should act upon. This defaults to "FLUXBOX", since this is a fluxbox project, after all. Please note
	   this is case sensitive.

       FBXDG_EXEC
	   This dictates if we should execute the application that we've been told to or not. This is particularly useful for debugging the app.

       HOME
	   The location of one's home directory, such that ~/ will be expanded to /home/user/

NAME

       xdg-desktop-icon - command line tool for (un)installing icons to the desktop

SYNOPSIS

       xdg-desktop-icon install [--novendor] FILE

       xdg-desktop-icon uninstall FILE

       xdg-desktop-icon {--help | --manual | --version}

DESCRIPTION

       The xdg-desktop-icon program can be used to install an application launcher or other file on the desktop of the current user.

       An application launcher is represented by a *.desktop file. Desktop files are defined by the freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Specification.
       The most important aspects of *.desktop files are summarized below.

COMMANDS

       install
	   Installs FILE to the desktop of the current user.  FILE can be a *.desktop file or any other type of file.

       uninstall
	   Removes FILE from the desktop of the current user.

OPTIONS

       --novendor
	   Normally, xdg-desktop-icon checks to ensure that a *.desktop file to be installed has a vendor prefix. This option can be used to
	   disable that check.

	   A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is terminated with a dash ("-"). Companies and organizations are encouraged
	   to use a word or phrase, preferably the organizations name, for which they hold a trademark as their vendor prefix. The purpose of the
	   vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts.

       --help
	   Show command synopsis.

       --manual
	   Show this manual page.

       --version
	   Show the xdg-utils version information.

DESKTOP FILES

       An application launcher can be added to the desktop by installing a *.desktop file. A *.desktop file consists of a [Desktop Entry] header
       followed by several Key=Value lines.

       A *.desktop file can provide a name and description for an application in several different languages. This is done by adding a language
       code as used by LC_MESSAGES in square brackets behind the Key. This way one can specify different values for the same Key depending on the
       currently selected language.

       The following keys are often used:

       Value=1.0
	   This is a mandatory field to indicate that the *.desktop file follows the 1.0 version of the specification.

       Type=Application
	   This is a mandatory field that indicates that the *.desktop file describes an application launcher.

       Name=Application Name
	   The name of the application. For example Mozilla

       GenericName=Generic Name
	   A generic description of the application. For example Web Browser

       Comment=Comment
	   Optional field to specify a tooltip for the application. For example Visit websites on the Internet

       Icon=Icon File
	   The icon to use for the application. This can either be an absolute path to an image file or an icon-name. If an icon-name is provided
	   an image lookup by name is done in the user's current icon theme. The xdg-icon-resource command can be used to install image files into
	   icon themes. The advantage of using an icon-name instead of an absolute path is that with an icon-name the application icon can be
	   provided in several different sizes as well as in several differently themed styles.

       Exec=Command Line
	   The command line to start the application. If the application can open files the %f placeholder should be specified. When a file is
	   dropped on the application launcher the %f is replaced with the file path of the dropped file. If multiple files can be specified on
	   the command line the %F placeholder should be used instead of %f. If the application is able to open URLs in addition to local files
	   then %u or %U can be used instead of %f or %F.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       xdg-desktop-icon honours the following environment variables:

       XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL
	   Setting this environment variable to a non-zero numerical value makes xdg-desktop-icon do more verbose reporting on stderr. Setting a
	   higher value increases the verbosity.

EXIT CODES

       An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non-zero exit code indicates failure. The following failure codes can be returned:

       1
	   Error in command line syntax.

       2
	   One of the files passed on the command line did not exist.

       3
	   A required tool could not be found.

       4
	   The action failed.

       5
	   No permission to read one of the files passed on the command line.

EXAMPLES

       The company ShinyThings Inc. has developed an application named "WebMirror" and would like to add a launcher for for on the desktop. The
       company will use "shinythings" as its vendor id. In order to add the application to the desktop there needs to be a .desktop file for the
       application:

	   shinythings-webmirror.desktop:

	     [Desktop Entry]
	     Encoding=UTF-8
	     Type=Application

	     Exec=webmirror
	     Icon=shinythings-webmirror

	     Name=WebMirror
	     Name[nl]=WebSpiegel

       Now the xdg-desktop-icon tool can be used to add the webmirror.desktop file to the desktop:

	   xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop

       To add a README file to the desktop as well, the following command can be used:

	   xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-README
