Command line switches
From Emergent
These are standard arguments that you can pass on the command line to control the program's behavior. See also startup program, startup script, nogui run.
| Switch | Action |
|---|---|
| a <path> | forces app root dir to be <path> (only needed for unusual non-default install) |
| [-p] <fname>.proj | either with -p switch, or by itself, without a switch, will load this project(s) after startup |
| -d <fname> | load defaults from indicated file |
| -gui | (usually optional) runs the program with a gui interface |
| -nogui | runs the program without a gui interface (batch mode) |
| -version | just print the program version and exit |
| -rct <N> | refcount tracing level (for debugging) |
| -f[ile] <fname> | compile the file |
| -e[xec] <fname> | compiled and execute (???) the file |
| -i[nteractive] | run in interactive mode (start a css console and stay in the main event loop) |
| -ni | run in non-interactive mode (don't start the css console and exit after any startup scripts or programs have been run) |
| -u <path> | forces app user dir to be <path> (typically only needed for secondary development folder) |
| v <N> | set init verbosity level to N |
| -b[p] <N> | set init (???) breakpoint level to N |
| (none) | if no .proj, then assumed to be a script argument |
| -style <style> | This is a Qt argument to set the display style (e.g., plastique, cleanlook, cde, motif, windows, macintosh, windows_xp -- also settable in preferences) |
| -b[p] <N> | set a breakpoint at code line <N> (assumes loading a startup script) |
| (none) | if no .proj, then assumed to be a script argument |
