display TV listings

## NAME

freeguide - display TV listings

## SYNOPSIS

**freeguide \[--dump\_prefs\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Display TV listings.  Run the program with no arguments to launch the main window.  Open the "Help" menu and choose "User Guide" for more information.

## OPTIONS

- \--dump\_prefs

  Write out the entire set of preferences FreeGuide is using, and exit.  The preferences are written to the current directory into a file called prefs\_cur-VERSION.txt where VERSION is the current version of FreeGuide.  Additionally, if a migration is needed to update FreeGuide's preferences, several more files are written, with names like prefs\_old-VERSION.txt and prefs\_new-VERSION.txt.  These reflect the preferences stored before and after each stage of the migration process.
