NAME

       xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       XMMS2  is  a  redesign  of  the XMMS (http://legacy.xmms2.org) 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.

OPTIONS

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

       -l file, --logfile=file
              Write log to file instead of the default log file location.

       -P file, --pidfile=file
              Write the pid of xmms2d(1) to file.

       -v, --verbose
