NAME

       kupfer - Convenient command and access tool for applications and documents

SYNOPSIS

       kupfer [ OPTIONS | FILE ... ]
       kupfer-exec FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       Kupfer is an interface for quick and convenient access to applications and their documents.

       The  most  typical use is to find a specific application and launch it. We have tried to make Kupfer easy
       to extend with plugins so that this quick-access paradigm can be extended to many more objects than  just
       applications.

       kupfer-exec  is  a  helper  script  that can execute commands saved to file, but only by connecting to an
       already running instance of Kupfer.

SPAWNING

       Running kupfer on the command line (without options) will try to show the program it if already running.

       Kupfer can be invoked with a list of files
          kupfer FILE ...

       This can be used to select files given as command-line arguments in the  program.  Then  you  can  invoke
       actions even on objects from a shell-based context.

       You may also pipe text to kupfer to pass it to a currently running instance of the program.

OPTIONS

       --no-splash
              Launch without presenting main interface

       --list-plugins
              Display a list of all installed plugins

       --debug
              Enable more verbose output that can help understanding the program's operation.

       --relay
              Is deprecated and will be started by the Multihead Support plugin when needed

       --exec-helper=HELPER
              Run plugin helper program, which should be the name of a module inside kupfer.

       The following are generic options

       --help Display usage information

       --version
              Display version information

CONFIGURATION

       Custom  plugins are added to kupfer by installing them to the directory ~/.local/share/kupfer/plugins, or
       any kupfer/plugins directory in any of $XDG_DATA_DIRS.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       If KUPFER_NO_CUSTOM_PLUGINS is set, only allow loading  built-in  plugins  (installed  in  the  program's
       python package).

       If KUPFER_NO_CACHE is set, do not load from or write to any source cache files.
