KDEOPTIONS(7)

📦 version 4.14.38, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 KDEOPTIONS 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for KDEOPTIONS, like from the KDE User's Manual, and it's literally the cheat sheet for common commandline options for all applications based on the KDE libraries. if you've ever run a KDE app and wondered why every single one of them speaks the same little flag language, this is why. it's giving shared DNA. 🧬✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

KDE application [KDE Generic Options]

so the vibe is: you run your KDE application, and then you can tack on the KDE Generic Options. that's it, that's the whole ritual. 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the following options apply to all KDE applications. every single one. no cap. 🫶

  • --caption caption — use caption as the name in the titlebar. so like, rename the window from the outside. main character rebrand, honestly. 💅
  • --icon icon — use icon as the application icon. matching lewk for your window, periodt. 🎀
  • --config filename — use the alternative configuration filename. different config, different era. ✨
  • --nocrashhandler — disable the crash handler, to get core dumps. > okay so heads up bestie: this turns OFF the thing that catches your crash, on purpose, so you get a core dump instead. it's a whole deliberate choice, not a whoopsie. 💀
  • --waitforwm — waits for a WM_NET compatible windowmanager. just sitting there, patiently, waiting for your window manager to get its life together. 😭
  • --style style — sets the application GUI style. aesthetic selection. glow-up mode activated. 🌈
  • --geometry geometry — sets the client geometry of the main widget. you're telling it exactly where to sit and how big to be. geometry is just math and math is just vibes with numbers. 📐✨
