HELPLIB.HLB  —  XAUTH  Options

1  –  -f_authfile

    Specifies the name of the X authority file. Version numbers
    are not allowed. If a display device is specified on the
    command line, xauth will use the X authority file referenced
    by the display device. Otherwise, xauth will use the default X
    authority file used by client applications. This file is the X
    authority file referenced by the DECW$DISPLAY display device, the
    DECW$XAUTHORITY logical, or SYS$LOGIN:DECW$XAUTHORITY.DECW$XAUTH.

2  –  -q

    Specifies that xauth operate in quiet mode. Status messages are
    not displayed. This is the default setting if the output from
    xauth is not directed to a terminal.

3  –  -v

    Specifies that xauth operate in verbose mode. Status messages are
    printed. This is the default setting if the output from xauth is
    directed to a terminal.

4  –  -i

    Specifies that xauth ignore file locks. Normally, xauth will
    refuse to read or edit any files that have been locked by another
    program (such as, by another instance of xauth) and not timed
    out.

5  –  -b

    Specifies that xauth break file locks before proceeding. Use this
    option only to clean up stale locks.

6  –  -n

    Specifies that xauth not interpret the host name when the list
    command is used. Instead, xauth displays the literal value as it
    appears in the X authority file.
