kfmclient is a tool for opening local and remote URLs in Konqueror from
the command line.
COMMANDS
openURL
kfmclient openURL url [ mimetype ]
Opens a window showing url. url may be a relative path or file name,
such as . or subdir/. If url is omitted, $HOME is used instead.
If mimetype is specified, it will be used to determine the component
that Konqueror should use. For instance, set it to text/html for a web
page, to make it appear faster.
newTab
kfmclient newTab url [ mimetype ]
Same as above but opens a new tab with url in an existing Konqueror
window on the current active desktop if possible.
openProfile
kfmclient openProfile profile [ url ]
Opens a window using the given profile. profile is a file under
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles. url is an optional URL to open.
openProperties
kfmclient openProperties url
Opens a properties menu.
exec
kfmclient exec [ url [ binding ] ]
Tries to execute url. url may be a usual URL, this URL will
be opened. You may omit binding. In this case the default binding
is tried. Of course URL may be the URL of a document, or it may be a
*.desktop file.
This way you could for example mount a device by passing 'Mount default'
as binding to 'cdrom.desktop'.

Moves the URL src to dest. src may be a list of URLs.
copy
kfmclient copy srcdest
Copies the URL src to dest. src may be a list of URLs.
