SYNOPSIS

       dcopfind [-a]  [-l]  service [object]

DESCRIPTION

       dcopfind  returns  a reference to the first instance of the KDE service

       service/application and immediately returns its reference.

                 DCOPRef(application id,object id).

       -l        If the object is not found, run dcopstart and try again.

       --help    Show usage information.
