xbiff - mailbox flag for X
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
xxxxbbbbiiiiffffffff [-_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [-option ...]
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
The _x_b_i_f_f program displays a little image of a mailbox.
When there is no mail, the flag on the mailbox is down.
When mail arrives, the flag goes up and the mailbox beeps.
By default, pressing any mouse button in the image forces
_x_b_i_f_f to remember the current size of the mail file as being
the ``empty'' size and to lower the flag.
This program is nothing more than a wrapper around the
Athena _M_a_i_l_b_o_x widget.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
_X_b_i_f_f accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
options along with the additional options listed below:
----hhhheeeellllpppp This option indicates that a brief summary of the
allowed options should be printed on the standard
error.
----uuuuppppddddaaaatttteeee _s_e_c_o_n_d_s
This option specifies the frequency in seconds at
which _x_b_i_f_f should update its display. If the
mailbox is obscured and then exposed, it will be
updated immediately. The default is 30 seconds.
----ffffiiiilllleeee _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
This option specifies the name of the file which
should be monitored. By default, it watches
/usr/spool/mail/_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e, where _u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e is your
login name.
----vvvvoooolllluuuummmmeeee _p_e_r_c_e_n_t_a_g_e
This option specifies how loud the bell should be
rung when new mail comes in.
----sssshhhhaaaappppeeee This option indicates that the mailbox window should
be shaped if masks for the empty or full images are
given.
The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are
commonly used with _x_b_i_f_f:
----ddddiiiissssppppllllaaaayyyy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y
This option specifies the X server to contact.
----ggggeeeeoooommmmeeeettttrrrryyyy _g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y

XXXXBBBBIIIIFFFFFFFF((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 5555)))) XXXXBBBBIIIIFFFFFFFF((((1111))))
This option specifies the preferred size and
position of the mailbox window. The mailbox is 48
pixels wide and 48 pixels high and will be centered
in the window.
----bbbbgggg _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the
background of the window.
----bbbbdddd _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the
border of the window.
----bbbbwwww _n_u_m_b_e_r
This option specifies the width in pixels of the
border surrounding the window.
----ffffgggg _c_o_l_o_r
This option specifies the color to use for the
foreground of the window.
----rrrrvvvv This option indicates that reverse video should be
simulated by swapping the foreground and background
colors.
----xxxxrrrrmmmm _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e_s_t_r_i_n_g
This option specifies a resource string to be used.
This is especially useful for setting resources that
do not have separate command line options.
XXXX DDDDEEEEFFFFAAAAUUUULLLLTTTTSSSS
The application class name is XBiff. This program uses the
_M_a_i_l_b_o_x widget in the Athena widget set. It understands all
of the core resource names and classes as well as:
cccchhhheeeecccckkkkCCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd ((((class CCCChhhheeeecccckkkkCCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd))))
Specifies a shell command to be executed to check
for new mail rather than examining the size of ffffiiiilllleeee.
The specified string value is used as the argument
to a _s_y_s_t_e_m(3) call and may therefore contain i/o
redirection. An exit status of 0 indicates that new
mail is waiting, 1 indicates that there has been no
change in size, and 2 indicates that the mail has
been cleared. By default, no shell command is
provided.
ffffiiiilllleeee ((((class FFFFiiiilllleeee))))
Specifies the name of the file to monitor. The
default is to watch /usr/spool/mail/_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e, where
_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e is your login name.
oooonnnncccceeeeOOOOnnnnllllyyyy ((((class BBBBoooooooolllleeeeaaaannnn))))

XXXXBBBBIIIIFFFFFFFF((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 5555)))) XXXXBBBBIIIIFFFFFFFF((((1111))))
Specifies that the bell is only rung the first time
new mail is found and is not rung again until at
least one interval has passed with no mail waiting.
The window will continue to indicate the presence of
new mail until it has been retrieved. The default
is false.
wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh ((((class WWWWiiiiddddtttthhhh))))
Specifies the width of the mailbox.
hhhheeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt ((((class HHHHeeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt))))
Specifies the height of the mailbox.
uuuuppppddddaaaatttteeee ((((class IIIInnnntttteeeerrrrvvvvaaaallll))))
Specifies the frequency in seconds at which the mail
should be checked. The default is 30.
vvvvoooolllluuuummmmeeee ((((class VVVVoooolllluuuummmmeeee))))
Specifies how loud the bell should be rung. The
default is 33 percent.
ffffoooorrrreeeeggggrrrroooouuuunnnndddd ((((class FFFFoooorrrreeeeggggrrrroooouuuunnnndddd))))
Specifies the color for the foreground.
rrrreeeevvvveeeerrrrsssseeeeVVVViiiiddddeeeeoooo ((((class RRRReeeevvvveeeerrrrsssseeeeVVVViiiiddddeeeeoooo))))
Specifies that the foreground and background should
be reversed.
fffflllliiiipppp ((((class FFFFlllliiiipppp))))
Specifies whether or not the image that is shown
when mail has arrived should be inverted. The
default is ``true.''
ffffuuuullllllllPPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaapppp ((((class PPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaapppp))))
Specifies a bitmap to be shown when new mail has
arrived. The default is flagup.
eeeemmmmppppttttyyyyPPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaapppp ((((class PPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaapppp))))
Specifies a bitmap to be shown when no new mail is
present. The default is flagdown.
sssshhhhaaaappppeeeeWWWWiiiinnnnddddoooowwww ((((class SSSShhhhaaaappppeeeeWWWWiiiinnnnddddoooowwww))))
Specifies whether or not the mailbox window should
be shaped to the given fullPixmapMask and
emptyPixmapMask. The default is false.
ffffuuuullllllllPPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaappppMMMMaaaasssskkkk ((((class PPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaappppMMMMaaaasssskkkk))))
Specifies a mask for the bitmap to be shown when new
mail has arrived. The default is none.
eeeemmmmppppttttyyyyPPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaappppMMMMaaaasssskkkk ((((class PPPPiiiixxxxmmmmaaaappppMMMMaaaasssskkkk))))
Specifies a mask for the bitmap to be shown when no

new mail is present. The default is none.
AAAACCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
The _M_a_i_l_b_o_x widget provides the following actions for use in
event translations:
cccchhhheeeecccckkkk(((()))) This action causes the widget to check for new mail
and display the flag appropriately.
uuuunnnnsssseeeetttt(((()))) This action causes the widget to lower the flag
until new mail comes in.
sssseeeetttt(((()))) This action causes the widget to raise the flag
until the user resets it.
The default translation is
<ButtonPress>: unset()
EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
DDDDIIIISSSSPPPPLLLLAAAAYYYY to get the default host and display number.
XXXXEEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides
the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER
property.
