THIS 22.1
Format of the oa_pref File
Format of the oa_pref File
Entries are formatted in the following way:<programme>*<option>: <setting>
For example: this*laser_paper_size: A4The rules for formatting are:
- The <programme>*<option>: string must start at column 1;
- This string must be in lower case, and must not have any spaces in it.
- The <setting> must be separated from the string by at least one space.
- Lines starting with a " # " are treated as comments and are ignored. (Users accustomed to setting the attributes of their window manager with the .Xdefaults file will recognise this format and syntax.)
