NAME

   gitaction - GNU Interactive Tools - per file type action script

SYNTAX

   gitaction directory file
   .gitaction directory file

DESCRIPTION

   gitaction  is  a  script that executes a different action for each file
   type specified. It is called by the gitfm program when pressing  F2  or
   ^Xa (see the gnuitrc.TERM configuration files in the gnuit manual). The
   first parameter is the current directory name and the second one is the
   file  name  to be matched against the default patterns. The matching is
   done using the shell 'case' statement.  If you press F2  or  ^Xa  on  a
   *.html file, gitfm will invoke a browser to view it, if you press F2 or
   ^Xa on a *.tar.gz file, gitfm will list the tar  archive  contents,  if
   you  press  the  same  keys  on  a  *.gz  file,  gitfm will display its
   uncompressed contents on the screen, etc ...

   If you press F2 or ^Xa on a *.gif file or *.jpg file and you  have  the
   zgv  utility  installed,  you  will  be  able to see it. If you want to
   change the gif/jpeg viewer, all you need to do is to change its name in
   the gitaction script.

   There  are many more file types and viewers that gitaction knows about.
   In addition, if you are running under GNOME, gnome-open is used, and on
   MacOS,  open(1)  is  used.  see(1)  and  metamail(1)  are  also used as
   fallbacks.

   If all else fails, the file is displayed using $GNUIT_PAGER. Feel  free
   to  change  this.  If  you want to find out what the default action for
   each file type is (or if you want to modify it), just  read/modify  the
   gitaction script.

   The script can be easily enhanced. Just read it.

   The  .gitaction script is a local version of the gitaction script. When
   started, gitaction tries to search a script called  .gitaction  in  the
   current  directory  and,  if it finds it, it starts it. If .gitaction's
   exit code  is  0  (  .gitaction  couldn't  find  a  matching  pattern),
   gitaction  starts  its  own  case statement trying to match the current
   file name (the second parameter) against its default patterns.

   The .gitaction script *must* be executable. An  example  of  .gitaction
   can  be  found  in  the  directory  gitfm  is installed into.  (usually
   /usr/local/bin   or   /usr/bin)   Debian   users   can   find   it   in
   /usr/share/doc/gnuit/examples/.   You  should  copy  the example to the
   current directory or your home directory and then modify it.
