FNAIFY(1) - General Commands Manual

# NAME

**fnaify** - run FNA/XNA games on OpenBSD

# SYNOPSIS

**fnaify**
\[**-i** | **-y**]
\[**-hnsv**]
\[**-c** *configfile*]
\[**-D** *depdir*]
\[**-d** *gamedir*]
\[**-f** *frameworkfile* | **-F** *frameworkversion*]
\[**-m** *monopath*]
\[*userflags*]

# DESCRIPTION

**fnaify**
runs games based on the FNA engine with OpenBSD-native
libraries and its
mono(1)
runtime.

As of version 2.0,
**fnaify**
has been extended to attempt configuring XNA games as well.
**fnaify**
can be run in 3 basic modes regarding the addition of missing libraries:
restrictive
(default)
, interactive, and permissive.

As of version 3.0,
**fnaify**
unifies both setup and launch of supported games in one command.

All games require additional libraries from ports, like SDL2. Some of
them can be found in the fnaify-extralibs package, like libatomstb or
libfmod\_SDL.

The arguments are as follows:

**-i** | **-y**

> The mode determines how
> **fnaify**
> handles situations where compatibility problems are identified that can
> be addressed with drop-in DLL replacements, or where an option needs to
> be selected.
> With
> **-i**,
> **fnaify**
> runs in interactive mode, meaning the user will be prompted in every
> case.
> With
> **-y**,
> **fnaify**
> runs in permissive mode
> (**-y**
> for
> "yes"
> to all)
> .
> This means that any suggested drop-in DLLs will be installed,
> and if different options are possible (like picking among several .exe
> files for the launch script), the first one will be selected
> automatically.
> If neither
> **-i**
> nor
> **-y**
> is specified,
> **fnaify**
> runs in restrictive mode, that is no drop-in DLLs will be installed.

**-c** *configfile*

> Optional. Use
> *configfile*
> for the configuration of
> mono(1).
> This sets up dllmap/dllentry settings to use the correct libraries. See
> mono-config(5)
> for details. If this option is omitted,
> **fnaify**
> looks first for
> *~/.config/fnaify/fnaify.dllmap.config*
> and then for
> */usr/local/share/fnaify/fnaify.dllmap.config*.
> If neither one is found,
> **fnaify**
> creates
> *~/.config/fnaify/fnaify.dllmap.config*
> with default settings.

**-D** *depdir*

> Add
> *depdir*
> to the directories to search for native library dependencies.
> A directory specified this way will be searched
> *before*
> the default locations
> (*/usr/local/lib* etc.).

**-d** *gamedir*

> Path to the game's directory
> (defaults to the current working directory).

**-F** *frameworkversion*

> Choose a specific framework version to use.

**-f** *frameworkfile*

> Framework file to use. Typically
> *FNA.dll*
> or
> *MonoGame.Framework.dll*.
> By default will automatically identify the bundled file in the
> game's directory.

**-h**

> Prints help text.

**-m** *monopath*

> Add
> *monopath*
> to the directories the
> mono(1)
> runtime will search for DLLs.

**-n**

> Skip checks for library dependencies.

**-s**

> Force (re-)running setup.

**-V**

> Display version of
> **fnaify**.

**-v**

> Verbose mode.

*userflags*

> Optional.
> Flags that are passed to the game as arguments

# FILES

*/usr/local/share/fnaify/fnaify.dllmap.config*

> Default configuration file to map DLLs to native libraries.

*~/.config/fnaify/fnaify.dllmap.config*

> User directory configuration file. Takes precedence if it exists.
> Make sure to keep it up-to-date!

# EXIT STATUS

**fnaify**
returns 1 if an error occurred, otherwise 0.

# EXAMPLES

Run in permissive mode, suitable to set up most supported games
automatically.

	$ fnaify -y -d path/to/game/directory

Run in interactive mode.
**fnaify**
will prompt the user if any additional DLLs are recommended, or if a
file needs to be selected for the launch script.

	$ fnaify -i
