NAME
kfmclient - TDE tool for opening URLs from the command line

SYNOPSIS
kfmclient [Qt-options] [TDE-options] [options] command [URL(s)]

DESCRIPTION
kfmclient is a tool for opening local and remote URLs in Konqueror from the command line.

COMMANDS

  openURL

  kfmclient openURL url [ mimetype ]
Opens a window showing url. url may be a relative path or file name,
    such as . or subdir/. If url is omitted, $HOME is used instead. If mimetype is specified, it will be used to determine the component that Konqueror should use. For instance, set it to text/html for a web page, to make it appear faster.

  newTab

kfmclient newTab url [ mimetype ]
    Same as above but opens a new tab with url in an existing Konqueror window on the current active desktop if possible.

  openProfile

kfmclient openProfile profile [ url ]
    Opens a window using the given profile. profile is a file under ~/.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/profiles. url is an optional URL to open.

  openProperties

kfmclient openProperties url
    Opens a properties menu.

  exec

kfmclient exec [ url [ binding ] ]
    Tries to execute url. url may be a usual URL, this URL will be opened. You may omit binding. In this case the default binding is tried. Of course URL may be the URL of a document, or it may be a *.desktop file. This way you could for example mount a device by passing 'Mount default' as binding to 'cdrom.desktop'.
