Overview
What is launch 1.0?
Command-line launcher.
In depth
A closer look at launch 1.0
Apple provides a simple command-line launching program called open with Mac OS X. It offers few options?launching applications by name or by path, launching TextEdit, or opening a number of applications, documents, folders, etc. With the exception of special support for TextEdit, launch does everything open does, and:
- opens URLs, directly or in your preferred helper application
- lets you specify applications by their four-character creator (e.g. 'ToyS') or Java-style bundle ID (e.g. com.apple.scripteditor), both of which allow you to move or rename an application without changing references to it
- asks applications to print documents, something the OS X Finder doesn't let you do any more
- launches applications in the background
- launches Carbon applications in Classic
- reports errors intelligibly
- shows information about any item on disk, including its file type, creator, data and resource fork sizes, dates and bundle ID (where applicable).
