KCOOKIEJAR5(8)

💖 KCOOKIEJAR5(8) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about kcookiejar5 — that's the command line interface to the KDE HTTP cookie daemon, and she is iconic and also kind of a mystery to everyone. this page lives in section 8 of the kcookiejar5 User's Manual, so you know she's a sysadmin-flavoured girlie. let's get into it 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

kcookiejar5 — the command line interface to the KDE HTTP cookie daemon. that's it, that's the whole name, short and slay 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you actually call her, no cap:

kcookiejar5 [-h, --help] [-v, --version] [--shutdown] [--remove domain]
            [--remove-all] [--reload-config]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so kcookiejar5 is a command line interface to the HTTP cookie store that KDE uses. it's a D-Bus service whose whole job is to store, retrieve and clean cookies. like, a little cookie bouncer. a cookie librarian. a cookie girlboss, honestly 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, because we do not skip, we do not summarise, we list all six like the queens they are:

• -h--help — shows help about options. (yes, that's exactly how the page writes it — write it exactly like that, no fixing, no editorialising, we respect the source text in this house 🫶)
• -v--version — shows version information. same energy, same exact spelling.
• --shutdown — shuts down the cookie jar and the D-Bus service. bye bye cookie jar 😭
• --remove domain — removes cookies for domain from the cookie jar. you tell her which domain, she yeets those cookies.
• --remove-all — removes all the cookies from the cookie jar. every last one. scorched earth, cookie edition 🔥
• --reaload-config — reloads the configuration file. (and yes, that is genuinely spelled --reaload-config in the original — do not correct it, do not "fix" it, copy it character for character, iykyk 🙈)

---

🎀 USAGE 🎀

kcookiejar5 is a command line tool for getting at the kded module that manages cookies in Konqueror and other KDE applications.

when you start her with no parameters at all, she loads the kded module so it can provide the D-Bus interface for storing cookies. just vibes, just presence, providing the interface ✨

when kcookiejar5 is started with some parameters, she does extra tasks on the cookie jar she provides — like, for example, removing the cookies from one domain. multi-talented honestly.

real talk, the technical caveats stay caveats: --shutdown really does take down the cookie jar and the D-Bus service, and --remove-all really does clear everything. no undos mentioned here, so don't come for me. 💖
