Knulp79 twisted the bytes to say:
I have a bunch of options that I created long time ago that I haven't
had time to merge to the git version of xournal:
Usage:
xournal [OPTION...] [FILE]
Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options
--help-all Show all help options
--help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
Application Options:
-p, --page=N Jump to Page
-A, --export-pdf=FILENAME Export document to a PDF file
--no-interface Show interface
--no-interface-fullscreen Do not show interface in fullscreen mode.
--fullscreen Run xournal in full screen
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
I used the g_lib parse features. eg:
// parse command line options
context = g_option_context_new ("");
g_option_context_add_main_entries (context, entries, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
g_option_context_add_group (context, gtk_get_option_group (TRUE));
if (!g_option_context_parse (context, &argc, &argv, &error)) {
printf(_("option parsing failed: %s\n"), error->message);
exit (1);
}
that makes the parsing cleaner and more generic.
I think it is a better way to support options in xournal. My code is in github
under dmgerman/scholiar but needs to be extracted from many other
features in there.

Knulp79> Hello,
Knulp79> first of all, thank you for developing and maintaining xournal.
Knulp79> Sometimes
I need to batch export a few xoj files to pdf and I would like to save
Knulp79> some time by doing so from a bash script without having to open
xournal
Knulp79> and use the menus.
Knulp79> I attach a small patch file that allows exporting using the followingÂ
syntax:
Knulp79> xournal filname.xoj -e filename.pdf
Knulp79> If others find it useful, it might be worth including it into the
next version of xournal.
Knulp79> Best,
Knulp79> Luca
