GSPATH(1) GNUstep System Manual GSPATH(1) NAME
gspath - Utility to display standard directory/path information SYNOPSIS
gspath DESCRIPTION
This utility can be used to print out a single directory or path in order for external applications to know what paths the GNUstep system is using. It was written to provide information for the GNUstep make package. The gspath usility is called with exactly one argument, which determines what it prints. Arguments To display the path to the defaults directory for the current user, use the defaults argument. To display the directory search path needed to locate dynamic libraries, use the libpath argument. To display the directory search path needed to locate commmand-line programs, use the path argument. To display the GNUstep home directory of the current user, use the user argument. HISTORY
Work on gspath started July 2005. This manual page first appeared in gnustep-base 1.11.1 (July 2005). AUTHORS

GPBS(1) GNUstep System Manual GPBS(1) NAME
gpbs - GNUstep PasteBoard Server SYNOPSIS
gpbs DESCRIPTION
The gpbs daemon serves as a clipboard/pasteboard for GNUstep programs, handling the copying, cutting and pasting of objects as well as drag and drop operations between applications. Every user needs to have his own instance of gpbs running. While gpbs will be started automatically as soon as it is needed, it is recommend to start gpbs in a personal login script like ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc. Alternatively you can launch gpbs when your windowing system or the window manager is started. For example, on sys- tems with X11 you can launch gpbs from your .xinitrc script or alternatively - if you are running Window Maker - put it in Window Maker's autostart script. See the GNUstep Build Guide for a sample startup script. OPTIONS
-NSHost <hostname> attaches gpbs to a remote session. --GSStartupNotification sends a notification through the NSDistributedNotificationCenter (i.e. gdnc) so that apps know that it has started up. This is only relevant if the application itself tries to startup gpbs (which means gpbs was not started at session login). --daemon starts gpbs as a daemon - mostly this means that all output gets sent to syslog rather than the terminal. --no-fork does not fork a separate process --verbose makes bs his logging more verbose DIAGNOSTICS
gdomap -L GNUstepGSPasteboardServer will lookup instances of gpbs. Alternatively, gdomap -N will list all registered names on the local host. BUGS
Versions of gpbs up to (including) 1.7.2 have problems with copy and paste of mulit-lingual text, as it used the atom XA_STRING alone to exchange string data between X clients (and thus GNUstep clients). This means gpbs is inherently unable to do cut-and-paste with charac- ters other than ISO Latin1 ones, TAB, and NEWLINE. SEE ALSO
