✨ NAME ✨

ibus-daemon — daemon program for ibus 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ibus-daemon [OPTION]...

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go in, daemon comes out 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so IBus is an Intelligent Input Bus. no cap. it's a new input framework for Linux OS, and it provides a full featured and user friendly input method user interface. it also may help developers develop input methods easily — which is lowkey iconic of it, ngl 🎀

ibus-daemon is a daemon program for ibus, and it's also the start up program for users to activate the ibus daemon, engines and panel. so yeah, it's the main character here 👑

🙋 Help Options:

  • -h, --help — show help options. the classic. the goat. every program has one and she ate 💅

💫 Application Options:

  • -d, --daemonize — run ibus as a background process. she's leaving and you won't even notice 🫥✨
  • -s, --single — do not execute the panel and config module. just the bare minimum. minimalist era 🧚
  • -x, --xim — execute the ibus XIM server. XIM girlies rise up 🔥
  • -n, --desktop=name — specify the name of the desktop session. [default=gnome] (yes bestie, gnome is the default, deal with it 🍓)
  • -p, --panel=cmdline — specify the cmdline of the panel program. you get to pick what runs it 💖
  • -c, --config=cmdline — specify the cmdline of the config program. same energy, but config 🎀
  • -a, --address=address — specify the address of the ibus daemon. where does she live? you decide 🏠
  • -r, --replace — if there is an old ibus-daemon running, it will be replaced. out with the old, in with the new, periodt 💅✨
  • -t, --cache=mode — force a re-scan of components, and re-create the registry cache. [default is auto]. the available modes are auto, refresh and none. that's the whole menu, no substitutions 🍽️
  • -o, --timeout=timeout — dbus reply timeout in milliseconds. [default is 2000]. patience is a virtue but she has limits ⏳
  • -v, --verbose — verbose. she will tell you everything. oversharing as a feature fr fr 😭
