Name
pilot - simple file system browser in the style of the Pine
Composer
Syntax
pilot [ options ] [ directory ]
Description
Pilot is a simple, display-oriented file system browser
based on the Pine message system composer. As with Pine,
commands are displayed at the bottom of the screen, and
context-sensitive help is provided.
Pilot displays the current working directory at the top of
the screen. The directory's contents are displayed in
columns of file name, file size pairs. Names that are
directories are indicated by the name "(dir)" in place of
the file size. The parent of the current working directory
is indicated by the file name ".." and size of "(parent
dir)". File names that are symbolic links to other files
are displayed with a file size of "--".
Several basic file manipulation commands are provided:
Delete, Rename, Copy, View, Launch, and Edit. The "View"
and "Edit" commands operate on text files only. By default,
the "View" command displays files using "pine -F", but will
respect the environment variable PAGER if set. The "Edit"
command simply invokes "pico". The "Launch" command pro-
vides a convenient way to either execute the selected file
or to run an application on it.
More specific help is available in pilot's online help.
Options
-a Display all files including those beginning with a
period (.).
-f Use function keys for commands. This option supported
only in conjunction with UW Enhanced NCSA telnet.
-g Enable "Show Cursor" mode. Cause cursor to be posi-
tioned before the current selection rather than placed
at the lower left of the display.
-j Enable "Goto" command. This enables the command to
permit explicitly telling pilot which directory to
visit.
-m Enable mouse functionality. This only works when pilot
is run from within an X Window System "xterm" window.
-nn The -nn option enables new mail notification. The n
argument is optional, and specifies how often, in
seconds, your mailbox is checked for new mail. For
example, -n60 causes pilot to check for new mail once
every minute. The default interval is 180 seconds,
while the minimum allowed is 30. (Note: no space
between "n" and the number)
-o dir
Sets operating directory. Only files within the speci-
fied directory are accessible and browsing is limited
to the specified directory subtree.
-v Enable single vertical column display.
-x Disable keymenu at the bottom of the screen.
-z Enable ^Z suspension of pilot.
-q Termcap or terminfo definition for input escape
sequences are used in preference to sequences defined
by default. This option is only available if pilot was
compiled with the TERMCAP_WINS define turned on.
