DESCRIPTION
     cinnamon-settings runs the graphical user interface allowing  to  configure
     Cinnamon.

     It can also be used to run the graphical user interface allowing to config-
     ure a specific module, add applets to a panel, and manage xlets.

MODULE
     Specifying a module allows to configure it directly.
     The following modules are available. You can use name or synonym.
     The  modules  with * have a configuration interface with tabs. Each tab can
     be directly opened (see TAB section below).
     The modules with ** need root rights to open their configuration interface.
     So the only tab that will always be open is the first one.

PANEL
     PANEL is the panel on which the user want install some applets.  User desk-
     top can have up to four panels.
     panel1 is the first panel (panel by default).
     panel2, panel3 and panel4 exist only if the user has created them.

UUID and INSTANCE
     The applets, desklets, extensions and themes are the xlets.

     Each xlet has an UUID (Universal Unique IDentifier). The  structure  of  an
     UUID is xlet_name@author, except for themes.

     There are two kinds of xlets: System and Spices.

     System    xlets   are   in   /usr/local/share/cinnamon/applets/,	/usr/lo-
     cal/share/cinnamon/desklets/ and /usr/local/share/themes/; their UUID  ends
     with '@cinnamon.org' except for themes. There is no system extension.

     Spices  are  xlets offered by developers to the Cinnamon team, which evalu-
     ates and validates them. Complete description of these Spices can be  found
     at https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/.
     The  Spices  installed by user are in ~/.local/share/cinnamon (for applets,
     desklets and extensions) and in ~/.themes.

     INSTANCE argument is reserved to developers. When an applet or desklet  has
     multiple  instances, the configuration interface of each of them can be di-
     rectly opened by this INSTANCE argument. Users have neither the possibility
     nor the need to know the value of INSTANCE.

SORT
     Possible choices are:
	     - name or 0
	     - score or 1 (default value)
	     - date or 2
	     - installed or 3
	     - update or 4 (upgradable Spices first, then acts as date)

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -h, --help
	    Print a help text describing the supported command-line options, and
	    then exit.

     -s SORT, --sort=SORT
	    Specific to the 'download' tab (see below)	for  applets,  desklets,
	    extensions and themes modules.

     -t TAB, --tab=TAB
	    Select the tab to open in the settings. Possible choices are:
	     - A number from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of available tabs.
	     - The name of the tab (see list below).

EXAMPLES
     To open System Settings:
	    $ cinnamon-settings

     To open the printer settings:
	    $ cinnamon-settings printers

     To open the settings of an installed applet, desklet or extension:
	    $ cinnamon-settings TYPE UUID
	    Examples:
	    $ cinnamon-settings applets SpicesUpdate@claudiux
	    $ cinnamon-settings desklets photoframe@cinnamon.org
	    $ cinnamon-settings extensions watermark@germanfr

     To add some applets on the second panel (if exists):
	    $ cinnamon-settings applets panel2

     To open the download tab of the applets settings:
	    $ cinnamon-settings applets --tab=download
	    or
	    $ cinnamon-settings applets -t 1

     To open the download tab of a type of Spices (applets, desklets, exten-
     sions, themes), sorting them by 'name', 'score', 'date', 'installed' or
     'update', use the '--sort=' or '-s' argument:
	    $ cinnamon-settings TYPE --tab=download --sort=SORT
	    or
	    $ cinnamon-settings TYPE -t 1 -s SORT
	    where TYPE can be applets, desklets, extensions or themes
	    and  SORT  can  be name (or 0), score (or 1), date (or 2), installed
	    (or 3), update (or 4)

	    Example:
	    $ cinnamon-settings applets -t 1 -s date
