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 \fIxbiff\fP to remember the current size of the mail file +as being the ``empty'' size and to lower the flag. +.SH OPTIONS +.I Xbiff +accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the +additional options listed below: +.TP 8 +.B \-help +This option indicates that a brief summary of the allowed options should be +printed on the standard error. +.TP 8 +.B \-update \fIseconds\fP +This option specifies the frequency in seconds at which \fIxbiff\fP +should update its display. If the mailbox is obscured and then exposed, +it will be updated immediately. The default is 30 seconds. +.TP 8 +.B \-file \fIfilename\fP +This option specifies the name of the file which should be monitored. By +default it watches your inbox in the default location for your +system (some examples are +.RI /var/mail/ username , +.RI /usr/spool/mail/ username , +.RI /var/spool/mail/ username +(where +.I username +is your login name). If the MAIL environment variable is set, +the file specified by it will be monitored. +.TP 8 +.B \-volume \fIpercentage\fP +This option specifies how loud the bell should be rung when new mail comes in. +.TP 8 +.B \-shape +This option indicates that the mailbox window should be shaped if masks for +the empty or full images are given. +.PP +The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used with +.I xbiff: +.TP 8 +.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP +This option specifies the X server to contact. +.TP 8 +.B \-geometry \fIgeometry\fP +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. +.TP 8 +.B \-bg \fIcolor\fP +This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-bd \fIcolor\fP +This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-bw \fInumber\fP +This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-fg \fIcolor\fP +This option specifies the color to use for the foreground of the window. +.TP 8 +.B \-rv +This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping +the foreground and background colors. +.TP 8 +.B \-xrm \fIresourcestring\fP +This option specifies a resource string to be used. This is especially +useful for setting resources that do not have separate command line options. +.SH X DEFAULTS +The application class name is XBiff. +This program uses the +.I Mailbox +widget. +It understands all of the core resource names and +classes as well as: +.PP +.TP 8 +.B checkCommand (\fPclass\fB CheckCommand) +Specifies a shell command to be executed to check for new mail rather than +examining the size of \fBfile\fP. The specified string value is used as the +argument to a \fIsystem\fP(__libmansuffix__) 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. +.TP 8 +.B file (\fPclass\fB File) +Specifies the name of the file to monitor. The default is as described +above for the +.B \-file +command line option. +.TP 8 +.B onceOnly (\fPclass\fB Boolean) +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. +.TP 8 +.B width (\fPclass\fB Width) +Specifies the width of the mailbox. +.TP 8 +.B height (\fPclass\fB Height) +Specifies the height of the mailbox. +.TP 8 +.B update (\fPclass\fB Interval) +Specifies the frequency in seconds at which the mail should be checked. +The default is 30. +.TP 8 +.B volume (\fPclass\fB Volume) +Specifies how loud the bell should be rung. The default is 33 percent. +.TP 8 +.B foreground (\fPclass\fB Foreground) +Specifies the color for the foreground. +.TP 8 +.B reverseVideo (\fPclass\fB ReverseVideo) +Specifies that the foreground and background should be reversed. +.TP 8 +.B flip (\fPclass\fB Flip) +Specifies whether or not the image that is shown when mail has arrived +should be inverted. The default is ``true.'' +.TP 8 +.B fullPixmap (\fPclass\fB Pixmap) +Specifies a bitmap to be shown when new mail has arrived. +The default is flagup. +.TP 8 +.B emptyPixmap (\fPclass\fB Pixmap) +Specifies a bitmap to be shown when no new mail is present. +The default is flagdown. +.TP 8 +.B shapeWindow (\fPclass\fB ShapeWindow) +Specifies whether or not the mailbox window should be shaped to the +given fullPixmapMask and emptyPixmapMask. The default is false. +.TP 8 +.B fullPixmapMask (\fPclass\fB PixmapMask) +Specifies a mask for the bitmap to be shown when new mail has arrived. +The default is none. +.TP 8 +.B emptyPixmapMask (\fPclass\fB PixmapMask) +Specifies a mask for the bitmap to be shown when no new mail is present. +The default is none. +.SH ACTIONS +The \fIMailbox\fP widget provides the following actions for use in event +translations: +.TP 8 +.B check() +This action causes the widget to check for new mail and display the flag +appropriately. +.TP 8 +.B unset() +This action causes the widget to lower the flag until new mail comes in. +.TP 8 +.B set() +This action causes the widget to raise the flag until the user resets it. +.PP +The default translation is +.sp +.nf + <ButtonPress>: unset() +.fi +.sp +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +.B DISPLAY +to get the default host and display number. +.TP 8 +.B XENVIRONMENT +to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources +stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +X(__miscmansuffix__), +xrdb(__appmansuffix__), +stat(2) +.SH BUGS +The mailbox bitmaps are ugly. +.SH AUTHOR +Jim Fulton, MIT X Consortium +.br +Additional hacks by Ralph Swick, DEC/MIT Project Athena |
