KATE(1)			       KDE User's Manual		       KATE(1)

NAME
       kate - Advanced text editor for KDE

SYNOPSIS
       kate [-s, --start name] [-u, --use] [-p, --pid pid] [-e, --encoding
	    name] [-l, --line line] [-c, --column column] [-i, --stdin]
	    [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]

DESCRIPTION
       Kate is the KDE Advanced Text Editor.

       Kate  also provides the editor part for various applications, under the
       name KWrite.

       Some of Kate's many features include configurable  syntax  highlighting
       for languages ranging from C and C++ to HTML to bash scripts, the abil‐
       ity to create and maintain  projects,  a	 multiple  document  interface
       (MDI), and a self-contained terminal emulator.

       But Kate is more than a programmer's editor. Its ability to open sever‐
       al files at once makes it ideal for editing UNIX�'s many	 configuration
       files. This document was written in Kate.

OPTIONS
       -s, --start name
	      Start Kate with a given session.

       -u, --use
	      Use an already running Kate

       -p, --pid  pid
	      Only try to reuse kate instance with this pid

       -e, --encoding  name
	      Set encoding for the file to open

	      You can use this to force a file opened in utf-8 format, for in‐
	      stance. (The command iconv -l  provides  a  list	of  encodings,
	      which may be helpful to you.)

       -l, --line  line
	      Navigate to this line

       -c, --column  column
	      Navigate to this column

       -i, --stdin
	      Read the contents of stdin

SEE ALSO
       kwrite(1)

       More  detailed  user documentation is available from help:/kate (either
       enter this URL into Konqueror, or run khelpcenter help:/kate).

       There is also  further  information  available  at  the	Kate  website:
       http://kate.kde.org/.

EXAMPLES
       To  open	 a file named source.cpp at column 15, line 25, in an existing
       Kate window, you could use:

	      kate -c 15 -l 25 -u source.cpp

       If you have an active internet connection, you can  take	 advantage  of
       KDE's  network  transparency to open a file from an ftp site. If you do
       not have write permission on the remote server, the file will be opened
       read  only  and you will be prompted for a local filename to save to if
       you make changes. If you do have	 write	permission,  changes  will  be
       saved transparently over the network.
