.SH DESCRIPTION
Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature
is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.

The Qt Chooser provides a wrapper to switch between versions of Qt
development binaries when multiple versions like 4 and 5 are installed
or local Qt builds are to be used.

It is commonly used via a symlink from an \fIexecutable_name\fR like qmake.
.SH OPTIONS
The options which apply to the
\fBqtchooser\fR
command are:
.PP
\fB\-list\-versions\fR

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B QTCHOOSER_NO_GLOBAL_DIR
If qtchooser has been built with \fBQTCHOOSER_GLOBAL_DIR\fR (predefined search
paths for qtchooser's configuration files, useful in some distros), setting this
variable will override its effect.
.RE
.TP
.B QT_SELECT
Same as \fB\-qt=\fIversion\fR. If set, the selected configuration is used and binaries
symlinked to qtchooser will be executed without additional parameters.
.RE
.TP
.B XDG_CONFIG_HOME
.TP
.B XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
Used as specified in
<\fBhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html\fR>
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /etc/xdg/qtchooser/*.conf
System-wide configuration files. Each has two lines, the first is the path
to the binaries and the second is the path to the Qt libraries. If a
\fIdefault.conf\fR is provided, the settings from it will be automatically
used in case nothing else is selected.
.TP
.I \fB$HOME\fP/.config/qtchooser/*.conf
User configuration files.
