💖 NAME 💖

Code::Blocks — the open-source, cross-platform IDE, bestie. It's giving legendary. It's giving free. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

codeblocks [-h] [-ns] [-d] [--prefix <str>] [-p <str>] [--profile <str>]
[--rebuild] [--build] [--target <str>] [--no-batch-window-close]
[--batch-build-notify] [filename(s)...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so codeblocks launches the Code::Blocks IDE 💅 that's it, that's the whole vibe. All the command-line arguments you can throw at it are listed down below, one by one, no skips, no cuts. 🎀

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -h, --help — shows you the full list of command-line arguments it accepts. your lil cheat sheet fr fr 📋
• -ns — no splash screen on startup, periodt. (you can also just fully disable the splash screen in the program's environment options if that's more your thing 💜)
• -d — turns on the debugging log. detective mode activated 🔍
• --prefix — tell Code::Blocks an alternate path so it can find its shared files. it's like giving it directions 🗺️
• -p, --profile — pick which profile to use. and if you set the profile to ask, Code::Blocks will pop up a list of all the known profiles so you can choose from them 👑
• --rebuild — starts a batch rebuild job (that's "clean" and "build", both of them, the whole thing) on the filenames you passed as arguments. those filenames can be projects or workspaces, either is fine 💖
• --build — starts a batch build job (so like, no "clean" this time) on the filenames you passed as arguments. again, projects or workspaces, your call 🌈
• --target — name a single build target to build in that batch build (or rebuild) job. just one, bestie 🎯
• --no-batch-window-close — normally when the batch job ends, the log window closes too 😭 this option keeps it open until you manually close it yourself. you're in control 💅
• --batch-build-notify — pings you with a message when the batch job finishes. it's like a lil "we're done!!" text 📣

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Batch build myproject.cpp, only the "Debug" target, and keep the batch job window open when it's finished:

codeblocks --build --target="Debug" --no-batch-window-close myproject.cbp

Batch rebuild everything in myproject.cbp:

codeblocks --rebuild myproject.cbp
