✨ tuxcmd — the manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because today we're talking about tuxcmd(1) — and yes, that (1) means it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your system, so it's a real one, a whole command, not just a vibe. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

tuxcmd — Tux Commander, a GTK2 based File Manager. that's it, that's the girl. two panels, GTK2 energy, file management. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tuxcmd [options]

like… that's the whole thing. you run it, you throw options at it, it opens. no cap. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, quick lore drop 📖 — this manual page documents the tuxcmd command briefly, and here's the tea: this page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program literally does not ship with a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome. 🫶

Tux Commander is a GTK2 based two panel file manager. two panels. side by side. iconic. main character energy for real. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so Tux Commander follows the usual GNU command line syntax, meaning long options start with two dashes (-). yes bestie, two. not one. two. a summary of options is included below, and we're going through all of them, no skipping, no summarising, periodt. 🔥

  • --debug — turns on debug messages. she's telling you everything. not me reading the logs 🙈
  • --profile=<profilename> — use a different configuration profile. multiple personalities, but make it config files. ✨
  • --delete-history — deletes the command-line, selection and search history. 🗑️ use this in case of locale problems — that's the actual documented reason, so if your locale is acting up, this is your girl.
  • --disable-gnome — don't load GNOME libraries. we're going independent today. 🦋
  • --disable-plugins — don't load VFS modules. no plugins, just vibes. ✨
  • --left=<path> — start the left panel at <path>. left girlies rise 🫶
  • --right=<path> — start the right panel at <path>. right girlies, your moment 👑
  • --lang=<language> — force the GUI language. the string <language> is a standard two-char language id. two chars. that's the rule, i don't make them. 🌈
  • --help — show a summary of options. the classic. the legend. 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Tux Commander has a website at http://tuxcmd.sourceforge.net/ which lists some of the key shortcuts. go look, the shortcuts are lowkey the whole point, iykyk. ⭐
