<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The <I>desktop-file-validate</I> program is a tool to validate desktop
|
|
entry files according to the Desktop Entry specification 1.1.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The specification describes a file format to provide information such as
|
|
name, icon and description for an application. Such a file can then be
|
|
used as an application launcher and to display the application in the
|
|
applications menu.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The desktop entry files are commonly called <B>desktop files</B>.
