GEANY(1) GEANY(1) NAME Geany -- a small and lightweight IDE SYNOPSIS geany [option] [+number] [files ...] DESCRIPTION Geany is a small and fast editor with basic features of an integrated development environment. Some of its features: syntax highlighting, code completion, code fold- ing, symbol/tag lists and many supported filetypes like C(++), Java, PHP, HTML, DocBook, Perl and more. Homepage: https://www.geany.org/ OPTIONS files ... A space-separated list of filenames. Absolute and relative filenames can be used. Geany also recognises line and column information when appended to the filename with colons, e.g. "geany foo.bar:10:5" will open the file foo.bar and place the cursor in line 10 at column 5. Projects can also be opened but a project file (*.geany) must be the first non-option argument. All additionally given files are ignored. +number Set initial line number for the first opened file (same as --line, do not put a space between the + sign and the num- ber). E.g. "geany +7 foo.bar" will open the file foo.bar and place the cursor in line 7. --column Set initial column number for the first opened file (useful in conjunction with --line). -c, --config Use an alternate configuration directory. Default configura- tion directory is ~/.config/geany/ and there resides geany.conf and some template files. --ft-names Print a list of Geany's internal filetype names (useful snip- pets configuration). -g, --generate-tags Generate a global tags file (see documentation). -P, --no-preprocessing Don't preprocess C/C++ files when generating tags. -i, --new-instance Don't open files in a running instance, force opening a new instance. Only available if Geany was compiled with support for Sockets. -l, --line Set initial line number for the first opened file. --list-documents Return a list of open documents in a running Geany instance. This can be used to read the currently opened documents in Geany from an external script or tool. The returned list is separated by newlines (LF) and consists of the full, UTF-8 encoded filenames of the documents. Only available if Geany was compiled with support for Sockets. -m, --no-msgwin Don't show the message window. Use this option if you don't need compiler messages or VTE support. -n, --no-ctags Don't load symbol completion and call tip data. Use this op- tion, if you don't want to use them. For more information please see documentation. -p, --no-plugins Don't load plugin support. --print-prefix Print installation prefix, the data directory, the lib direc- tory and the locale directory (in this order) to stdout, each per line. This is mainly intended for plugin authors to de- tect installation paths. -r, --read-only Open all files given on the command line in read-only mode. This only applies to files opened explicitly from the command line, so files from previous sessions or project files are unaffected. -s, --no-session Don't load the previous session's files. -t, --no-terminal Don't load terminal support. Use this option, if you don't want to load the virtual terminal emulator widget at startup. If you don't have libvte.so.4 installed, then terminal-sup- port is automatically disabled. Only available if Geany was compiled with support for VTE. --socket-file Use this socket filename for communication with a running Geany instance --vte-lib Specify explicitly the path including filename or only the filename to the VTE library, e.g. /usr/lib/libvte.so or lib- vte.so. This option is only needed, when the autodetection doesn't work. Only available if Geany was compiled with sup- port for VTE. -v, --verbose Be verbose (print useful status messages). -V, --version Show version information and exit. -?, --help Show help information and exit. Geany supports all generic GTK options, a list is available on the help screen. AUTHOR This manual page was written by the Geany developer team.
