RH9 Lauchers/Commands ???
I've got RH9 installed and I have a question about configuring application launcers. A few of the launchers that came by default with RH9 use a "%" followed by another character. For example:
The xmms launcher is: xmms -e %F and Mozilla is: mozilla %u My question is what does the % character do and where is this documented. TIA Ray |
Its a metaparameter,
I have never been inrigued by this before but after a quick bounce around google it turns out that when running something like xmms, it would be nice to have a file. so %F invokes it with n arguments (file name), Then when its xmms is running and you double click on a song on the playlist xmms %F changes to xmms filename.mp3 or whatever. well thats my understanding from what i just read, the link is here http://cantonlinux.org/pipermail/tec...ch/002781.html Would check it but work despises linux :( |
Thanks for the help. But I'm still trying to find out where metaparamers are documented. When I searched google for: Linux metaparameters the results were rather meager.
When you searched google what was your query string. Thanks r |
