|
|
used to secure
|

|
|

|
|
.B sx
|
|
will create and use
|
|
.B \%XDG_DATA_HOME/sx/xauthority
|
|
instead while also exporting this value to
|
|
.BR XAUTHORITY .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B XDG_CONFIG_HOME
|
|
The directory used when searching for
|
|
.IR sxrc .
|
|
.B \%HOME/.config
|
|
will be used if not set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B XDG_DATA_HOME
|
|

|
|
.I xauthority
|
|
file.

|
will be used if not set.

|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sx/sxrc
|
|
The default command started by
|
|
.BR sx .
|
|
This file must be executable.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B XDG_DATA_HOME/sx/xauthority
|
|
The default authority used by
|
|
.B sx
|
|
if an alternative file is not provided with

|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
With the addition of
|
|
.BR Xorg.wrap (1)
|
|
it may be necessary to set
|
|
.I allowed_users
|
|
to
|
|
.I anybody
|
|
in
|
|
.B \%/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
|
|
if
|
|
.B sx
|
|
is used in a pipeline or its standard output and standard error is redirected
|
|
to a file as it will not be considered a console user.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Use an existing
|
|
.I .Xinitrc
|
|
by specifying an appropriate interpreter such as
|
|
.BR sh (1)
|
|
or making it executable with a correct interpreter line:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
.B sx sh ~/.Xinitrc
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Pass arguments to the standard
|
|
.I sxrc
|
|
by presenting it to
|
|
.B sx
|
|
as a
|
|
.IR command :
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
.B sx ~/.config/sx/sxrc arg1 arg2
