<title>The Command Line</title>
24
To start the Document Viewer from the command line, type <cmd>evince</cmd>. You
25
can open a specific file by typing the filename after the evince command:
28
<screen>evince file.pdf</screen>
30
You can open multiple files by typing the filenames after the evince command, separating the filenames by a space:
32
<screen>evince file1.pdf file2.pdf</screen>
34
Evince also supports the handling of files on the web. For example, after the evince command you can give the location of a file on the web:
36
<screen>evince http://www.claymath.org/millennium/P_vs_NP/pvsnp.pdf</screen>
38
<title>Opening A Document At A Specific Page</title>
40
You can use the <cmd>--page-label</cmd> switch to open a document at a
41
specific page. For example, to open a document to page 3, you would type:
43
<screen>evince --page-label=3</screen>
45
The page label should be in the same format as the page number displayed in
46
the Document Viewer toolbar.
