XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1) General Commands Manual XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1)

xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher

xmms2-launcher [-l file] [-P file] [-v] [--] [XMMS2D_OPTION] ...
xmms2-launcher -h

XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMMS) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexible media library to organise your music.

xmms2-launcher starts xmms2d(1) in the background. The main feature is that it does not exit until the IPC system of XMMS2 is available, meaning that as soon as the xmms2-launcher process has exited successfully xmms2d(1) is ready to accept commands.

Unrecognized options and options occuring beyond pseudo-option -- are passed to xmms2d(1).

Write log to file instead of the default log file location.
Write the pid of xmms2d(1) to file.
Make xmms2-launcher verbose.
-?, -h, --help
Show short help information and exit.

Options beyond this marker are passed to xmms2d(1).
