toxik Executable
Appendix B, Toxik Executables

The Toxik executable files let you verify stored information, edit settings, and perform certain tasks. The Toxik executable files reside in the Toxik program directory.

Note: As the behavior of Toxik is the same on a Linux workstation as on a Windows workstation, the screen shots in this chapter were taken from Toxik running on a Windows workstation.

You can access the executables via a shell.

Note: There are no file extensions on a Linux workstation. Therefore, the executables don't have the ".exe" extension as they do on Windows. However, the functionality of the executables as well the list of command line parameters are identical on both platforms, Windows and Linux.

You can get a list of command line parameters for any Toxik executable by running the executables without any parameters. In general, this provides some form of usage/help message.
