DESCRIPTION

15       Kupfer is an interface for quick and convenient access to  applications
16       and their documents.
17
18       The  most  typical use is to find a specific application and launch it.
19       We have tried to make Kupfer easy to extend with plugins so  that  this
20       quick-access  paradigm  can  be extended to many more objects than just
21       applications.
22
23       kupfer-exec is a helper script that can execute commands saved to file,
24       but only by connecting to an already running instance of Kupfer.
25

SPAWNING

27       Running  kupfer  on the command line (without options) will try to show
28       the program it if already running.
29
30       Kupfer can be invoked with a list of files
31          kupfer FILE ...
32
33       This can be used to select files given as command-line arguments in the
34       program. Then you can invoke actions even on objects from a shell-based
35       context.
36
37       You may also pipe text to kupfer to pass  it  to  a  currently  running
38       instance of the program.
