This utility is for now alpha release, and may have some gaps.

DESCRIPTION

ctys-config (Address-Resolution) lists and displays configuration files.

The display can be applied for specific groups, subtrees, or for nested groups. Also a tree-view based on the UNIX command tree is included, which supports the listing of components and subtrees from the standard paths.

The main application is the usage by 'ctys-config -e' for starting the default browser 'konqueror' for browsing the configuration directories.

OPTIONS

ctys-config

-d <level>: Debug.

-D <deepness-level>: Display structure of configuration files with the given level of recursion deepness.

-e [<conf-file-list>|<path-list>]

Edit one or multiple configuration files by Emacs or another preconfigured editor. The default display mode is konqueror in tab-view for multiple directories. When no argument is provided the default paths

  'MYCONFPATH=${CTYS_LIBPATH}/conf/ctys'

and

  '${HOME}/.ctys'

are displayed. When a directory name and/or file list - is provided, these are searched for the relative path provided, first from current directory, than by using each existing entry within the standard pathas a prefix. Absolute paths are just evaluated for providing a valid filename/pathname.

The default editor could be configured within the distribution specific configuration file by CTYS_CONFIGEDIT. Currently preconfigured editors/starters are: Emacs, gvim, vim, konqueror, and nautilus.

-F: Display file structure as a directory-tree including contained files, the option -D controls the level option.

-h: Print help.

-H <help-option>: The extended help option is based on system interfaces for display of manpages, PDF and HTML documents. This comprises the man pages and installed manuals.
For additional help refer to the documents or type ctys -H help.

-S: Display directory structure of the configuration files with the given level of deepness in -D option.

-V: Version.

-X: Terse.

ARGUMENTS
