Chapter 4. Command Line Options

KAddressBook supports some command-line arguments, which can be used to influence its starting behavior:

kaddressbook -a, --addr <email>: Shows the contact editor with the given email address.
kaddressbook --uid <uid>: Shows the contact editor with the given uid.
kaddressbook --editor-only: Launches in editor only mode.
kaddressbook --new-contact: Launches an editor for a new contact.

KAddressBook also supports all other command-line options common to KDE and Qt™ programs; you can get a list of these options with --help, --help-kde, and --help-qt.
