codeblocks launches the Code::Blocks IDE. Its various command-line arguments are listed below.

-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.

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.cbp:
codeblocks --rebuild myproject.cbp
