Name
       floppyd_installtest - tests whether floppyd is installed and running



Note of warning
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
       documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
       end of this man page for details.

Description
       Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a running
       floppyd daemon. This is useful, if you have a small front-end script to
       mtools, which decides whether to use floppyd or not.

       floppyd_installtest [-f]  Connect-String

       If the -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does a full X-Cookie
       authentication and complains if this does not work.

       The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section:
       hostname:displaynumber[/baseport]

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
       documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
       items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
       translation process.  Indeed, these items have no appropriate
       representation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information
       has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly advise
       you to use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for
       instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
              following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi


       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at
       `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
              run:

                     ./configure; make info


       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in
       the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
       quoting conventions used in info.
