NAME

6       setup - A text mode system configuration tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       setup
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  setuptool  program (setup) is a front-end menu program for a group
13       of other tools, mostly system-config-*-tui tools. The list  of  options
14       which  it  presents  is  assembled  by  scanning  /etc/setuptool.d  and
15       /usr/share/setuptool/setuptool.d for files.
16
17       Each file in the directory should contain one or more  lines  of  text.
18       Each  line  contains from one to four fields which are separated by "|"
19       characters.  In order, they are:
20         - the path to the binary to invoke (mandatory)
21         - the untranslated name of the application which should be displayed
22           (If unset, defaults to the path of the binary, but don't depend  on
23       that.)
24         -  the  gettext  textdomain in which a translation of the name of the
25       application can be found
26           (If unset, defaults to "setup".)
27         - the directory in which translations for the textdomain can be found
28           (If unset, defaults to "/usr/share/locale".)
29
30       If multiple entries with the same  untranslated  name  exist,  the  one
31       which was read FIRST takes precedence. Files are read in name collation
32       order.

EXAMPLE

35       A contrived example would create  /etc/setuptool.d/00bogus  with  these
36       contents:
37
38         /bin/ls --color; /bin/sleep 5|Example "ls" invocation.
39
40       or
41
42         /bin/ls --color; /bin/sleep 5|Give this help list|libc
43
44       to use one of libc's (not meaningful here, but) translatable messages.
