KF5OPTIONS(7)

💖 KF5OPTIONS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to kf5options — the manual page for the common commandline options that literally every application based on KDE Frameworks 5 gets for free. no cap. if your app is a KDE application, these flags are already in the building. you didn't have to do anything. she's just born with it. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

KDE application [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--author] [--license]
                [--desktopfile file name]

like, that's the whole vibe. every KDE application takes these. periodt.

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

The following options apply to all KDE applications:

• -h, --help — this lists the options available at the command line. your little "wait what do i type" moment? solved. ✨
• -v, --version — lists version information for KDE application. the receipts, basically. 🧾
• --author — lists KDE application authors right there in the terminal window. give the girlies their credit. 👑
• --license — shows license information. legal era. ⚖️
• --desktopfile file name — the base file name of the desktop entry for this application.

This is in particular useful for wrapper applications and applications having in general multiple desktop files. Thus each desktop file can put its own name into the exec command. iykyk — that's the whole point, each one gets to name herself in the exec command. 🦋
