GIMP ships with a second binary called \fIgimp-console\fP. This binary
41
is a console-only version and behaves as if \fIgimp\fP was called with
42
the \-\-no\-interface command\-line option.
44
On platforms with the D-Bus message bus system, GIMP will by default check
45
if an instance is already running in this user session. If it detects that,
46
it will pass all filenames given on the command-line to the already running
47
GIMP instance and quit.

Instead of using shared memory, GIMP will send the data via pipe. This

will result in slower performance than using shared memory.

Do not use CPU accelerations such as MMX or SSE even if GIMP detects

that your CPU provides this functionality.

GIMP respects a number of environment variables.

to get the default host and display number.
126
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
127
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
152
to get the name of the personal GIMP directory. If unset @gimpdir@ is
153
used. If this is an absolute path, it is used as is. If it is a
154
relative path, it is taken to be a subdirectory of the home directory.
157
to get the base location for data files such as brushes and patterns.
158
If unset @gimpdatadir@ is used.
161
to get the base location for translations. If unset @gimplocaledir@
165
to get the base location for plug-ins and modules. If unset

@gimpplugindir@ is used.

to get the location of configuration files. If unset @gimpsysconfdir@

On Linux GIMP can be compiled with support for binary relocatibility.

This will cause data, plug-ins and configuration files to be searched

relative to the location of the gimp executable file unless overridden

by the environment variables mentioned above.

Most GIMP configuration is read in from the user's init file,

\fB$HOME\fP/@gimpdir@/gimprc. The system wide equivalent is in

@sysconfdir@/gimprc. The system wide file is parsed
