DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

   -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.

EXAMPLES

   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
