<title>The command line</title>
<p>
To start <app>Papers</app> from the command line, type <cmd>papers</cmd>. You
can open a specific file by typing the filename after the papers command:
</p>
<screen>papers file.pdf</screen>
<p>
You can open multiple files by typing the filenames after the papers command, separating the filenames by a space:
</p>
<screen>papers file1.pdf file2.pdf</screen>
<p>
<app>Papers</app> also supports the handling of files on the web. For example, after the papers command you can give the location of a file on the web:
</p>
<screen>papers http://www.claymath.org/millennium/P_vs_NP/pvsnp.pdf</screen>
<section id="open">
<title>Opening a document at a specific page</title>
<p>
You can use the <cmd>--page-label</cmd> switch to open a document at a
specific page. For example, to open a document to page 3, you would type:
</p>
<screen>papers --page-label=3 file.pdf</screen>
<p>
The page label should be in the same format as the page number displayed in
the <app>Papers</app> header bar.
