kfmclient
- KDE tool for opening URLs from the command line

.SH DESCRIPTION

the command line.
.SH COMMANDS
.SS
.SS openURL
.TP
kfmclient openURL \fIurl\fR [ \fImimetype\fR ]
Opens a window showing \fIurl\fR. \fIurl\fR may be a relative path or file name,
such as . or subdir/. If \fIurl\fR is omitted, $HOME is used instead.

If \fImimetype\fR 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.
.SS newTab
.TP
kfmclient newTab \fIurl\fR [ \fImimetype\fR ]
Same as above but opens a new tab with \fIurl\fR in an existing Konqueror
window on the current active desktop if possible.
.SS openProfile
.TP
kfmclient openProfile \fIprofile\fR [ \fIurl\fR ]
Opens a window using the given profile. \fIprofile\fR is a file under
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles. \fIurl\fR is an optional URL to open.
.SS openProperties
.TP
kfmclient openProperties \fIurl\fR
Opens a properties menu.
.SS exec
.TP
kfmclient exec [ \fIurl\fR [ \fIbinding\fR ] ]
Tries to execute \fIurl\fR. \fIurl\fR may be a usual URL, this URL will
be opened. You may omit \fIbinding\fR. 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'.
