NAME

       rodent, rodent-forked, rodent-desk, rodent-getpass, rodent-[plugin] -
       Advanced filemanager with graphic shell.


SYNOPSIS

       Rodent is fast, multicore, small and powerful file manager for the GNU
       operating system (but it also works in BSD). Rodent is *not* a
       filemanager for dummies. Emphasis is on ease of use for the advanced
       user, not the computer illiterate.

       rodent with no parameters will open the users home directory.
       rodent-forked with no parameters will open the rodent top level where
       plugins are listed.
       rodent-desk will open the deskview filemanager. The deskview can be set
       to a fixed directory, to the rodent top level where plugins are listed,
       or be navigatable (does that word exist?).

       rodent-getpass will open a dialog to query for a password. This is
       called when sudo -A or ssh request a password, passphras or
       confirmation from the user.

       rodent-[plugin] This will open the rodent at the specified [plugin].
       Current included plugins include the following:

       rodent-fstab Monitors and allows mount operations from partitions, usb
       devices and mount points listed in the fstab file.
       rodent-ps Show current process tree and allow signalling of running or
       stopped processes
       rodent-dotdesktop Processes application .desktop files, creating a
       pseudo file structure based on application categories. This plugin is
       also responsible form managing the application popup menu.
       rodent-fuse This is a custom file system which contains several plugins
       to different types of network and user space filesystems. It is a
       straight forward alternative to gvfs. This plugin contains rodent-
       sshfs, rodent-ecryptfs, rodent-ftp, rodent-obex, rodent-nfs and rodent-
       cifs.

       rodent-sshfs This plugin allows mount management and navigation of sftp
       filesystems.
       rodent-ecryptfs This plugin allows mount management and navigation of
       ecry<?>t filesystems.
       rodent-ftp This plugin allows mount management and navigation of ftp
       filesystems. This method of remote file access is rather archaic.
       rodent-sshfs should be used instead, if available.
       rodent-obex This plugin allows mount management and navigation of obex
       filesystems. This is what's behind bluetooth filesystem connections.
       Bluetooth is pretty slow, but it works cool if you want to connect to
       your phone without taking it out of your pocket. Exchange of pins from
       computer to device on initial connection is a little nerdy.
       rodent-nfs This plugin allows mount management and navigation of nfs
       filesystems. This is the most robust network filesystem around. It
       should be preferred for connection within secure networks.
       rodent-cifs This plugin allows mount management and navigation of cifs
       filesystems. Cifs is replacement of smb filesystems, the network
       protocol used by Windows.

       rodent-smb This plugin allows navigation of the smb network to find the
       adequate remote share to mount with rodent-cifs.
       rodent-workgroup This plugin queries the master smb browser to display
       the available workgroups. This is a child plugin for rodent-smb.
       rodent-shares This plugin shows the shares available on the selected
       remote smb server. This is a child plugin for rodent-workgroup.
