NAME
Code::Blocks - The open-source, cross-platform IDE SYNOPSIS
codeblocks [-h] [-ns] [-d] [--prefix <str>] [-p <str>] [--profile <str>] [--rebuild] [--build] [--target <str>] [--no-batch-window-close] [--batch-build-notify] [filename(s)...] DESCRIPTION
codeblocks launches the Code::Blocks IDE. Its various command-line arguments are listed below. OPTIONS
-h, --help Displays the list of accepted command-line arguments. -ns Do not display a splash screen on startup. The splash screen can be completely disabled in the program's environment options. -d Enable the debugging log. --prefix Specify an alternate path for Code::Blocks to find its shared files. -p, --profile Set which profile to use. If you set the profile to ask , Code::Blocks will display a list with all the known profiles to choose from. --rebuild Start a batch rebuild (i.e. "clean" and "build") job on the filenames passed as arguments. The filenames can be either projects or workspaces. --build Start a batch build (i.e. no "clean") job on the filenames passed as arguments. The filenames can be either projects or workspaces. --target Specify a single build target to build in the batch build (or rebuild) job. --no-batch-window-close When the batch job ends, the log window closes too. This option keeps it open until you manually close it. --batch-build-notify Display a message when the batch job finishes. EXAMPLES
Batch build myproject.cpp, only the "Debug" target and keep the batch job window open when finished: codeblocks --build --target="Debug" --no-batch-window-close myproject.cbp Batch rebuild everything in myproject.cpp: codeblocks --rebuild myproject.cbp AUTHOR
