If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the <commands> in that session, otherwise startup normally and execute <commands>. <commands> must be a single shell token. You can eventually use this switch more than once.

-x <commands>

If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the <commands> in that session, otherwise do nothing and exit. <commands> must be a single shell token. You can eventually use this switch more than once.

-r <commands>

If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the <commands> in that session, otherwise start up normally (do not execute). <commands> must be a single shell token. You can eventually use this switch more than once.

-m

If a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup dialog instead of writing to the console. This is useful when starting KVIrc from a graphical taskbar button.

--nosplash

Do not show the splash screen at startup

[server]

Connect to this server after startup.

[port]

Use this port for connection. This option requires also a server name.

[ircurl]

A URL in the following form:

irc[6]://<server>[:<port>][/<channel>[?<pass>]]

For each URL on the commandline create a new irc-context and attempt to connect to <server> on the specified <port>. The optional <channel> is joined just after the connection has been established.

ENVIRONMENT

KVIRC_LANG: Language setting. If not set KVIrc will check for $LANG
LANG: Language setting. If not set (or set to 'EN','POSIX' or 'C') KVIrc will use the default language (English).

FILES

$PREFIX/share/kvirc/VERSION/* Directory with the global KVIrc settings, modules etc...

$HOME/.kvirc4.rc . This is the first file that KVIrc looks for. If the -c commandline option is specified , the file passed as the option parameter is used instead of this one. If the file is found , KVIrc reads the first non-empty line and treats it as the path to the KVIrc Local directory. If the file can not be found or the KVIrc Local directory is not existing , KVIrc enters the setup mode and allows selecting a new KVIrc Local directory.

KVIrc Local directory/* Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings. Similar to the global one.
