BIFFOPT(1)

NAME
biffopt - set terminal specific options for biffer

SYNOPSIS
biffopt [-d] [-D display] [-h hostname] [-r]

DESCRIPTION
biffopt lets you set terminal specific options for biffer(8) which allow you to customize what happens to your mail notification. Some biffer options are not valid in terminal specific options files - see the biffer(8) man page for details.

biffopt is especially handy when you're using a machine that does not have the remote host name in the utmp file.

biffopt sets the options for the terminal attached to the standard input.

OPTIONS
If no options are given on the command line, biffopt lists the current terminal specific options (if any).

-d  Set the biffer ``display'' variable to the value of the environment variable DISPLAY.

-D display
    Set the biffer ``display'' variable to display.

-h hostname
    Set the biffer ``hostname'' variable to hostname.

-r  Remove any existing terminal options file. This can't be used with any other options.

BUGS
Needs more options, so it can set more biffer options.

FILES
/usr/tmp/biffer.ttyXX.UID - where terminal specific options are set
