This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below.
--all-sessions
Send to all sessions found. Only works with the --user and
--all-users options.
--all-users
Send the same DCOP call to all users with a running DCOP

generate an error message. If no DCOP server is available at
all, no error will be generated.
--help Show help about options.
--list-sessions
List all active KDE session for a user or all users.
--pipe Call DCOP for each line read from stdin.

in combination with the --user option.
--user user
Connect to the given user’s DCOP server. This option will
ignore the values of the environment vars $DCOPSERVER and
$ICEAUTHORITY, even if they are set. If the user has more
than one open session, you must also use one of the --list-
sessions, --session or --all-sessions command-line options.
