\title Controller
\brief A command-line utility to remote control the application manager on a target device.
\ingroup qtappman-tools

The \c{appman-controller} is a command-line utility that can be used by the developer, or
indirectly by other tools, on the target device to control the application manager without
communicating directly with its D-Bus interface.

\note In order to use this tool, the application manager has to be connected to either a session- or
system-bus; don't run it with \c{--dbus none}.

If you are running multiple application manager instances in the same system, you need to first
\l{instance-id}{assign unique instance-ids} to each of them and then you can address them
individually from the \c appman-controller tool by using the \c instance-id command line option.

The following commands are available:

\table
\header
    \li Command
    \li Arguments
    \li Description
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c start-application}
    \li \c{<application-id>}

        \c{[document-url]} [optional]
    \li Starts the application with \c application-id within the application manager.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c debug-application}
    \li \c{<debug-wrapper-specification>}

        \c{<application-id>}

        \c{[document-url]} [optional]
    \li Starts the application with \c application-id within the application manager using
        a debug-wrapper. For more information, see \l{DebugWrappers}.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c stop-application}
    \li \c{<application-id>}
    \li Stops the application with \c application-id.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c stop-all-applications}
    \li (none)
    \li Stops all applications that are running within the application manager.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c list-applications}
    \li (none)
    \li Outputs all available application IDs on the console, one per line.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c show-application}
    \li \c{<application-id>}
    \li Shows the current metadata for the given application in YAML format. Alternatively, use
        \c{--json} to get the metadata in JSON format instead.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c list-packages}
    \li (none)
    \li Outputs all available package IDs on the console, one per line.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c show-package}
    \li \c{<package-id>}
    \li Shows the current metadata for the given package in YAML format. Alternatively, use
        \c{--json} to get the metadata in JSON format instead.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c install-package}
    \li \c{<package>}
    \li Installs the package given on the command-line. If the package file is specified as \c{-},
        the tool tries to read the package from \c stdin. The following options are supported:

        \c{-a, --acknowledge}: Automatically acknowledge the installation, instead of relying on
        the System UI's logic.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c remove-package}
    \li \c{<package-id>}
    \li Removes the package, specified with \c package-id. The following options are
        supported:

        \c{-f, --force}: Force removal of package.

        \c{-k, --keep-documents}: Keep the document folder of the package.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c list-installation-locations}
    \li (none)
    \li Lists all installaton locations.
\row
    \li \span {style="white-space: nowrap"} {\c show-installation-location}
    \li \c{<installation-location>}
    \li Shows details for the specified \c installation-location in YAML format. Alternatively, use
        \c{--json} to get the location details in JSON format instead.
\endtable

The \c{appman-controller} naturally supports the standard Unix \c{--help} command-line option.
