NAME

6       emelFM2 - a GTK2+ file manager
7

SYNOPSIS

9       emelfm2 [OPTION]... [DIR]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       emelFM2  is  a  file manager for UNIX-like operating systems. It uses a
13       simple and efficient interface pioneered by  Norton  Commander  in  the
14       1980's.  The main window is divided into three "panes" or "panels". Two
15       of them show information about  the  contents  of  selected  filesystem
16       directories.  That  information  is  presented  as text. The third pane
17       shows the output of commands executed within the program.
18
19       A built-in command-line, toolbar buttons or assigned keys can  be  used
20       to   initiate   commands.  A  flexible  filetyping  mechanism  provides
21       user-determined actions for desired filetypes.
