- publicData -
When a user runs Xnetlib,
the index files for the libraries are downloaded
from the server and cached in a special directory. For sites where many
people use Xnetlib, it will save disk space if users share these index
files .
This can be accomplished by setting the xnlPath resource
to some
commonly writable directory and by setting the publicData resource
to True. The effect of the publicData resource is to cause
all index files to be saved world writable so they can be updated by
anyone.
Some sites set these defaults at compile time by setting the fallback
resources for these variables. (Look for fallback_resources in
main.c.)
-
- indexLifetime -
controls frequency of client to server
communication. This resource sets the number of days an index file will
be used before Xnetlib checks with the server to find out if the file
is out of date. The default value is seven days.
-
- hostFile -
sets the name of host file,
which contains the lists of servers to contact.
The default is $HOME/.xnetlibHosts.
-
- email -
specifies the Internet email
address
of the user. Xnetlib will attempt to guess the email address but will
very often be wrong. The email address is recorded in the server's log
and is used to inform users of software bugs and updates.
-
- printCommand -
sets the format string of the
print command.
It should contain a ``%s'' which is replaced when the command is executed
by the name of the temporary file used in printing the text.
The default is ``lpr %s''.
-
- showWhoInfo -
determines whether instructions for adding
your name to the NA-NET Whitepages Database are shown
in Who mode. The default is True.
-
- entrySep -
sets the string to be displayed between
entries in Who mode. The default is ``---''.
-
- xnlDownloadPath -
sets the directory where files
selected for downloading
are to be placed.
The default is $HOME/xnlFiles.
-
-
depCheck - sets the default value for
dependency checking
in Download mode.
-
- confirmQuit -
If the confirmQuit resource is True,
you will be asked for confirmation
before quitting Xnetlib.
-
- dontWarp -
turns off
automatic cursor positioning if True.
-
- okColor, badColor, and cautionColor -
affect the status message window background. The defaults are
green, red, and yellow.
-
- dial, needle, ef, and gasGauge.background
- affect features of the gas gauge in Download mode.
The defaults are DarkViolet, yellow, red, and white.
