KDEINIT5(8) kdeinit5 User's Manual KDEINIT5(8)
NAME
kdeinit5 - Launcher for applications built with kdeinit support, and
for KIO slaves.
SYNOPSIS
kdeinit5 [--help] [[--no-fork] | [--no-kded] | [--suicide]]
[[+programs] | [programs]]
DESCRIPTION
kdeinit5 is a process launcher somewhat similar to the famous init used
for booting UNIX. It executes KDE programs and kdeinit loadable modules
(KLMs) starting them more efficiently.
Using kdeinit5 to launch KDE applications makes starting a typical KDE
application a couple times faster and reduces memory consumption by a
substantial amount.
kdeinit5 is linked against all libraries a standard KDE application
needs. With this technique, starting an application becomes much faster
because now only the application itself needs to be linked whereas
otherwise both the application as well as all the libraries it uses
need to be linked.
DISADVANTAGES
The process name of applications started via kdeinit5 is "kdeinit5".
This problem can be corrected to a degree by changing the application
name as shown by ps. However, applications like killall will only see
kdeinit5 as the process name. To workaround this, use kdekillall (from
kdesdk/scripts) for applications started via kdeinit5.
OPTIONS
--help
Show help about options
--no-fork
Do not fork, i.e. do not exit until all the executed programs ends
--no-kded
Do not start kded
--suicide
Terminate when no KDE applications are left running
+programs
runs the programs handling requests
programs
runs the programs without handling requests
USAGE
A standard way to run this program is by simply specifying the
following command at the prompt kdeinit5 program or kdeinit5 +program
FILES
/tmp/kde-$USER/kdeinit5_$INSTANCE
...
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
$HOME
Specifies the home directory of the current user
$KDE_HOME_READONLY
Specifies if the home directory of the current user is read only
$KDE_IS_PRELINKED
If set, tells kdeinit5 that the KDE programs are pre-linked.
(Prelinking is a process that allows you to speed up the process of
dynamic linking.)
$KDE_DISPLAY
If set, tells kdeinit5 that it is running on a KDE desktop.
