Overview of dcop command line utilities
dcop [<app-id> [<object-id> [<function> [args]]]]
Make a dcop call to the specified function.
If no function is specified, a list of available functions is listed.
If no object is specified, a list of available objects is listed.
If no app-id is specified, a list of available application-ids is listed.
****
* As of KDE 3.0: You will NO LONGER be able to use "dcop konqueror" to
* communicate with e.g. "konqueror-4783". You will have to use "dcop
* konqueror-4783" for that (or the DCOPRef notation, see below)
****
dcopstart <app>
Starts <app> and returns the <app-id> on stdout that can be used for the
other commands. E.g. "dcopstart kedit" might return "kedit-29322". An
exit-code of '0' means success. An exit-code of '1' means error, the error
msg is printed to stderr and no data is printed to stdout.
dcopfind [-l] [-a] <app-id> [<object-id> [<select_func> [args]]]
Finds an existing DCOP application/object. The select_func can be used to
select a specific single instance out of many based on some criteria.
<app-id> and <object-id> may end with a '*' as wildcard.
The function returns a <app-object-id> to stdout in the form
"DCOPRef(<app-id>, <object-id>)"
if an object is found and returns an exit-code of '0'.
If no object is found, nothing is written to stdout and the exit-code is '1'.
With the -a option it prints out "<app-id>" instead of a DCOPRef.
With the -l option it calls "dcopstart <app-id>" if no object is found,
stripping off any wildcard from the <app-id>. If the dcopstart command is
successful the find command is repeated, if the dcopstart command fails, an
error message is printed to stderr and the command exits with exit-code '2'.
The default selection criteria is "any". Applications can declare their own
select_func as they see fit, e.g. konqueror could declare
"isDoingProtocol(TQString protocol)" and then the following command would
select a konqueror mainwindow that is currently handling the help-protocol:
"dcopfind 'konqueror*' 'konqueror-mainwindow*' 'isDoingProtocol(TQString
protocol)' help"
dcop <dcopref> <function> args
In addtion to the current syntax of
dcop <appid> <object> <function> args
you will now also be able to use <dcopref> to make calls with <dcopref> being
"DCOPRef(<appid>, <objectid>)" as returned by dcopfind.
Additional utilities:
"dcopref <appid> <object>"
Creates a DCOPRef from appid and object.
"dcopclient <dcopref>"
Extracts the appid from dcopref.
"dcopobject <dcopref>"
Extracts the object from dcopref.
