NAME

       gv-update-userconfig - update ~/.gv config file


SYNOPSIS

       gv-update-userconfig [filename]


DESCRIPTION

       gv-update-userconfig is a simple script to update an .gv config file to
       the current version of gv(1).

       You can specify a file which is  used  instead  of  .gv  by  using  the
       optional  filename argument. This is useful if the environment variable
       XUSERSEARCHPATH is used.

       This is done by removing all entries known to cause problems  with  the
       current  version  of  GNU  gv (i.e. the one the version of this program
       belongs to) and updating the version information in  that  file.   This
       resets all problematic items back to the default values.


       -h, --help, --usage
              displays a short help message

       -r     removes   all  resources  from  ~/.gv  that  equal  the  default
              resources being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).

       -n     switches to alternative navigation by adding resp. updating nav-
              igation resources to ~/.gv, i. e. after each page switch (except
              if selected by the page number) the page is scrolled to top  (if
              switching  forward) resp. to the bottom (if switching backward).

       -N     switches to standard navigation by adding resp. updating naviga-
              tion resources to ~/.gv.

       -s     removes  navigation  resources  from ~/.gv and therefore enables
              standard navigation.

       -i     updates translation file. Using the optional filename  parameter
              is  strongly recommended for using this option. This option can-
              not be used together with any of the other options.




BACKGROUND

       The $(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the Save but-
       ton in one of the configuration dialogs.

       The  values in there are used, if there is no display-specific resource
       value (loaded  from  $(HOME)/.Xresources  at  login  time  or  manually
       xrdb(1)).

       Sometimes  older  values  miss  things needed by the new GNU gv to work
       properly.  This GNU gv will notice old (or missing) version information
       in this file and refuse to start until fixed.



SEE ALSO
