Using Command Line Options

You can start Qt Creator 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 Qt Creator installation or build directory:

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:

• C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator -help
• C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator C:\TextFinder\textfinder.cpp:100
• C:\qtcreator\bin>qtcreator C:\TextFinder\textfinder.cpp +100

The following table summarizes the available options:
