Command line parameters

# Command line parameters

# Conventional notation for the command line syntax

The table below describes the notation for the command line syntax.

Notation	Description
Text without square, curly or round brackets	The elements that should be entered in the way in which they are displayed.
[Text within square brackets]	An optional argument
{Text within curly brackets}	A required argument
(Text within round brackets)	A required separator in the argument
...	An unlimited number of parameters in the argument

# Description of the command line style

- is allowed in short parameters
-<single character> style is allowed
An argument is allowed in the same token for short parameters, for example, -lsome
An argument is allowed in the next token for short parameters, for example, -l some
--long_name style is allowed
An argument in the same token is allowed for long parameters, for example, --login=ivanov
An argument in the next token is allowed for long parameters, for example, --login ivanov
It is possible to combine multiple short parameters so that -v -f can be transformed into -vf. All parameters except the last one must not accept any arguments. For example, if -v accepts a parameter, f will be accepted as the parameter, but not the other short parameter.
It is possible to use the abbreviated version of long parameters if there is a one-to-one correspondence between the short version and the long parameter. No long name of a parameter can be the prefix of another long parameter name if autocomplete is used

# Description of command line parameters

# --twin, -t

Run another instance of VideoSDK/Room with the predefined name.

By default when launching VideoSDK/Room checks if another instance of VideoSDK/Room is now being run. If it finds such an instance, its sends the starting parameters to the running instance and terminates its work.

All instances do not affect each other; their settings are stored in the folder with the twin name specified in the parameters.

Rules:

The argument is optional
No argument is allowed in the next token for the parameter
If an argument is not included, the twin string is used
Maximum name length — 32 characters
Valid characters:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_-.
Invalid characters are replaced with _

Syntax:

--twin=[twin_name]
-t [twin_name]

Example:

C:\Program Files\TrueConf\Room>TrueConfRoom.exe --twin=user1
C:\Program Files\TrueConf\Room>TrueConfRoom.exe -t user2
C:\Program Files\TrueConf\Room>TrueConfRoom.exe -t
