## OPTIONS

*FILE*... Files to open.

- **--line** *num*

  After opening a file, the cursor will be placed at the beginning of the specified line. If more than one filename is provided, the last file will be used.

- **--master**

  The file will be defined as the master document. If more than one filename is provided, the last file will become the master document.

- **--page** *num*

  This option can only be used in combination with option **--pdf-viewer-only** in order to tell TeXstudio which page to display.

- **--pdf-viewer-only**

  TeXstudio will open as a standalone pdf viewer without editor. *FILE* has to be a pdf file, not a tex document. Only the first specified file will be opened.

- **--start-always**

  If this option is provided texstudio starts a new instance even if texstudio is already running.

- **--insert-cite** *citation*

  Inserts the bibtex key citation at the current cursor position, automatically taking care of necessary cite commands.
