Description
Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a
running floppyd daemon. This is usefull, if you have a
small frontend script to mtools, which decides whether to
use floppyd or not.
floppyd_installtest [-f] Connect-String
If the -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does a
full X-Cookie authentication and complains if this does
not work.
The connect-String has the format described in the flop
pyd-section: hostname:displaynumber[/baseport]

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from
mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is
only approximative, and some items, such as crossrefer
ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all infor
mation has been translated into the manpage version. Thus
I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.
See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view
the texinfo doc.
