    \title Using Command Line Options

    You can start \QC and specify some options from the command line.
    For example, you can open a file to any line.

    To specify command line options, enter the following command in the \QC
    installation or build directory:

    \c {qtcreator [option] [filename[:line_number]]}

    \note You can use either a colon (:) or a plus sign (+) as a separator
    between the filename and line number. You can also use a space between the
    separator and the line number.

    For example:

    \list

        \li \c {C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator -help}

        \li \c {C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator C:\TextFinder\textfinder.cpp:100}

        \li \c {C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator C:\TextFinder\textfinder.cpp +100}

    \endlist

    To open a project that is located in a particular folder, you can pass on the folder
    name as a command line argument. \QC looks for a session that matches the folder name and
    loads it. Or it looks for a project file in the folder and opens it. For example:

    \c {qtcreator .}

    The following table summarizes the available options:
