Alternate .facet file


Sometimes, a user wants to use a file other than .facet (for character terminals) or .facetalpha (for AlphaWindow terminals) file to hold the FacetTerm configuration information. To override this name, you can use one of the following methods.

  1. Environment Variables

    For character terminals, set the UNIX environment variable:

    FACETDOTFACET

    to the name of the desired file. For example:

    FACETDOTFACET=mydotfacet; export FACETDOTFACET
    facetterm

    For AlphaWindow terminals, set the UNIX environment variable:

    FACETDOTFACETALPHA

    to the name of the desired file. For example:

    FACETDOTFACETALPHA=mydotfacetalpha
    export FACETDOTFACETALPHA
    facetalpha

  2. Command line arguments

    For character terminals, add the following to the FacetTerm command line:

    .facet=filename

    For example:

    facetterm .facet=mydotfacet

    For AlphaWindow terminals, add the following to the facetalpha command line:

    .facetalpha=filename

    For example:

    facetalpha .facetalpha=mydotfacetalpha

The file specified will be searched for along the same path as the regular .facet or .facetalpha path. The search path is listed on Page 56 of your FacetTerm manual.
