## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **galan-real** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

## OPTIONS

If specified, sheets are loaded from *file* at startup, otherwise a single blank sheet will be displayed. Only one *file* argument is accepted, though it may contain several sheets.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **LADSPA\_PATH**

  the full path to the location of the LADSPA plugins (typically /usr/lib/ladspa under Debian GNU/Linux). **DISPLAY** the X11 display to use.
