GTK-LAUNCH(1)

💖 NAME 💖

gtk-launch — bestie, it launches an application. that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gtk-launch [OPTION...] APPLICATION [URI...]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so gtk-launch launches an application using the name you give it. it starts that app up with proper startup notification on a default display, unless you specified otherwise. very demure, very mindful 🫶

it takes at least one argument, and that argument is the name of the application you wanna launch. that name should match the application's desktop file name, the one chilling in /usr/share/application, and you can include the '.desktop' suffix or not — either way is fine, we're flexible 💅

and if you call it with more than one argument? the rest of them, besides the application name, are treated as URI locations and get passed as arguments to the application you launched. slay 🌈

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's what it understands, no cap:

• -?, --help — prints a short help text and then exits. cute little recap moment 🎀
• --version — prints the program version and exits. periodt 👑

---

that's literally it, you're a gtk-launch girlie now 🦋

this page came to you from GTK+, and the header said GTK-LAUNCH(1) up top with GTK-LAUNCH(1) down at the bottom too — a little matching moment, iconic honestly 💜 love that for us, mwah 💋
