DCOP(1)DCOP(1)NAME
dcop - Console DCOP client
SYNOPSIS
dcop [--pipe] [--user user] [--all-users] [--session session]
[--all-sessions] [--list-sessions] [--no-user-time] [application
[object [function [arguments]]]]
DESCRIPTION
Console DCOP client
OPTIONS--pipe Call DCOP for each line read from stdin.
This is roughly equivalent to calling while read line ; do dcop
$line ; done but because no new dcop instance has to be started
for each line this is generally much faster, especially for the
slower GNU dynamic linkers.
--user user
Connect to the given user's DCOP server. This option will ignore
the values of the environment vars $DCOPSERVER and $ICEAUTHORI‐
TY, even if they are set.
If the user has more than one open session, you must also use
one of the --list-sessions, --session or --all-sessions com‐
mand-line options.
--all-users
Send the same DCOP call to all users with a running DCOP server.
Only failed calls to existing DCOP servers will generate an er‐
ror message. If no DCOP server is available at all, no error
will be generated.
--session session
Send to the given KDE session. This option can only be used in
combination with the --user option.
--all-sessions
Send to all sessions found. Only works with the --user and
--all-users options.
--list-sessions
List all active KDE sessions for a user or all users.
--no-user-time
Don't update the user activity timestamp in the called applica‐
tion (for use in scripts running in the background).
