## Note of warning

           This  manpage  has  been  automatically   generated   from
           mtools's  texinfo  documentation,  and may not be entirely
           accurate or complete.  See the end of this  man  page  for
           details.

## Description

           Floppyd_installtest is used to check for the presence of a
           running floppyd daemon. This is usefull,  if  you  have  a
           small  frontend script to mtools, which decides whether to
           use floppyd or not.

           floppyd_installtest [-f]  Connect-String

           If the -f option is specified, floppyd_installtest does  a
           full  X-Cookie  authentication  and complains if this does
           not work.

           The connect-String has the format described in  the  flop
           pyd-section: hostname:displaynumber[/baseport]

## Viewing the texi doc

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is
           only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer
           ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
           process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
           mation has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus
           I strongly advise you to use  the  original  texinfo  doc.
           See  the  end of this manpage for instructions how to view
           the texinfo doc.
