Table 3.1. Command line Options
| Short option | Long option | Function |
|---|---|---|
| -c dir_name | --config=directory_name | Use an alternate configuration directory. Default
configuration directory is ~/.geany/
and there resides geany.conf and
other configuration files.
|
| -d | --debug | Run Geany in debug mode, which means being verbose and printing lots of information. |
| -i | --new-instance | Do not open files in a running instance, force opening a new instance. Only available if Geany was compiled with support for Sockets. |
| -l | --line | Set initial line number for the first opened file. |
| -m | --no-msgwin | Do not show the message window. Use this option if you do not need compiler messages or VTE support. |
| -n | --no-ctags | Do not load auto completion and call tip data. Use this option if you do not want to use them. |
| -s | --no-session | Don't load the previous session's files. |
| -t | --no-terminal | Do not load terminal support. Use this option if you do not
want to load the virtual terminal emulator widget at startup.
If you do not have libvte.so.4 installed,
then terminal-support is automatically disabled. Only available
if Geany was compiled with support
for VTE.
|
| --vte-lib | Specify explicitly the path including filename or only the filename
to the VTE library, e.g. /usr/lib/libvte.so or
libvte.so. This option is only needed when the
autodetection does not work. Only available if
Geany was compiled with support for VTE.
| |
| -v | --version | Show version information and exit. |
| -? | --help | Show help information and exit. |
| [files ...] | Open all given files at startup. This option causes Geany to ignore loading stored files from the last session (if enabled). |
Geany supports all generic GTK options, a list is
available on the help screen.
