.SH NAME
optirun \- run programs on the discrete video card
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B optirun
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,command \/\fR[\fI\,command options\/\fR...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Run an application using the discrete video card.
.TP
\fB\-\-failsafe\fR
run a program even if the nvidia card is unavailable
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-failsafe\fR
do not run a program if the nvidia card is unavailable
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-xorg\fR
do not start secondary X server (implies \fB\-b\fR none)
.TP
\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-bridge\fR METHOD
acceleration/displaying bridge to use. Valid values
are auto, virtualgl and primus. The \fB\-\-vgl\-\fR* options
only make sense when using the virtualgl bridge,
while the \fB\-\-primus\-\fR* options apply only when using
the primus bridge.
Additionally, value none is recognized, and its effect
is to add paths to driver libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(useful for nvidia\-settings and CUDA applications)
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-vgl\-compress\fR METHOD
image compression or transport to use with
VirtualGL. Valid values for METHOD are proxy,
jpeg, rgb, xv and yuv. Changing this setting
may affect performance, CPU usage and image
quality
.TP
\fB\-\-vgl\-options\fR OPTS
a space\-separated list of command options to be
passed to vglrun. Useful for debugging virtualgl
by passing options to it like +tr. These OPTS
override the settings from optirun so be careful
with setting it
.TP
\fB\-\-primus\-ldpath\fR PATH
a colon\-separated list of paths which are searched
for the primus libGL.so.1
.TP
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR
suppresses all logging messages
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
increase the verbosity level of log messages. It
can be specified up to two times (or five if
\fB\-\-quiet\fR is used)
.TP
\fB\-\-debug\fR
show all logging messages by setting the verbosity
level to the maximum
.TP
\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR FILE
retrieve settings for Bumblebee from FILE
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-display\fR VDISPLAY
find the Bumblebee X server on VDISPLAY. Do not
confuse this option with the DISPLAY environment
variable. By default, PATH is queried from the
daemon
.TP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-ldpath\fR PATH
libraries like libGL.so are searched in PATH
(useful for the nvidia driver). By default, PATH
is queried from the
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-socket\fR FILENAME
use FILENAME for communication with the daemon
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
display this help and exit
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
output version information and exit
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
optirun glxspheres
Runs the graphics demo supplied with Virtual GL.
.TP
optirun \-c yuv glxspheres
Runs a program with the yuv transport method for
better performance.
.TP
optirun firefox http://example.com
Run a program with arguments.
