41 * SECTION:gapplicationcommandline
42 * @title: GApplicationCommandLine
43 * @short_description: A command-line invocation of an application
44 * @include: gio/gio.h
45 * @see_also: #GApplication
47 * #GApplicationCommandLine represents a command-line invocation of
48 * an application. It is created by #GApplication and emitted
49 * in the #GApplication::command-line signal and virtual function.
51 * The class contains the list of arguments that the program was invoked
52 * with. It is also possible to query if the commandline invocation was
53 * local (ie: the current process is running in direct response to the
54 * invocation) or remote (ie: some other process forwarded the
55 * commandline to this process).
57 * The GApplicationCommandLine object can provide the @argc and @argv
58 * parameters for use with the #GOptionContext command-line parsing API,
59 * with the g_application_command_line_get_arguments() function. See
60 * [gapplication-example-cmdline3.c][gapplication-example-cmdline3]
61 * for an example.
63 * The exit status of the originally-invoked process may be set and
64 * messages can be printed to stdout or stderr of that process. The
65 * lifecycle of the originally-invoked process is tied to the lifecycle
66 * of this object (ie: the process exits when the last reference is
67 * dropped).
69 * The main use for #GApplicationCommandLine (and the
70 * #GApplication::command-line signal) is 'Emacs server' like use cases:
71 * You can set the `EDITOR` environment variable to have e.g. git use
72 * your favourite editor to edit commit messages, and if you already
73 * have an instance of the editor running, the editing will happen
74 * in the running instance, instead of opening a new one. An important
75 * aspect of this use case is that the process that gets started by git
76 * does not return until the editing is done.
78 * Normally, the commandline is completely handled in the
79 * #GApplication::command-line handler. The launching instance exits
80 * once the signal handler in the primary instance has returned, and
81 * the return value of the signal handler becomes the exit status
82 * of the launching instance.

152 * In this example of split commandline handling, options that start
153 * with `--local-` are handled locally, all other options are passed

155 * instance.

193 * In this example the commandline is not completely handled before
194 * the #GApplication::command-line handler returns. Instead, we keep
195 * a reference to the #GApplicationCommandLine object and handle it
196 * later (in this example, in an idle). Note that it is necessary to

726 * exits.
728 * The return value of the #GApplication::command-line signal is
729 * passed to this function when the handler returns. This is the usual
730 * way of setting the exit status.
732 * In the event that you want the remote invocation to continue running
733 * and want to decide on the exit status in the future, you can use this
734 * call. For the case of a remote invocation, the remote process will
735 * typically exit when the last reference is dropped on @cmdline. The
736 * exit status of the remote process will be equal to the last value
737 * that was set with this function.
739 * In the case that the commandline invocation is local, the situation
740 * is slightly more complicated. If the commandline invocation results
741 * in the mainloop running (ie: because the use-count of the application
742 * increased to a non-zero value) then the application is considered to
743 * have been 'successful' in a certain sense, and the exit status is
744 * always zero. If the application use count is zero, though, the exit
745 * status of the local #GApplicationCommandLine is used.
747 * Since: 2.28
