| 22 | .PP |
| 23 | \&\fR\&\f(CWFloppyd_installtest\fR is used to check for the presence of a running |
| 24 | floppyd daemon. This is useful, if you have a small front-end script to |
| 25 | mtools, which decides whether to use floppyd or not. |
| 26 | .PP |
| 27 | \&\fR\&\f(CWfloppyd_installtest\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-f\fR] Connect-String |
| 28 | .PP |
| 29 | If the \fR\&\f(CW-f\fR option is specified, \fR\&\f(CWfloppyd_installtest\fR does a |
| 30 | full X-Cookie authentication and complains if this does not work. |
| 31 | .PP |
| 32 | The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section: |
| 33 | \&\fIhostname\fR\fR\&\f(CW:\fR\fIdisplaynumber\fR[\fR\&\f(CW/\fR\fIbaseport\fR] |

| 37 | .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc |
| 38 | This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo |
| 39 | documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some |
| 40 | items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this |
| 41 | translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate |
| 42 | representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has |
| 43 | been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to |
| 44 | use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for |
| 45 | instructions how to view the texinfo doc. |

| 91 | The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in |
| 92 | the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the |
| 93 | quoting conventions used in info. |
