Where I can find manual for skypeforlinux command line options ?

Hello Mikexgia,

Welcome to Skype Community!

Are you referring to cloud-based chat commands and roles available in Skype?

To see a list of the available commands, simply type /help into the chat. If you are in a chat with just one other person, only the relevant chat options will be shown. If you are in a chat with two or more people, /help will reveal a more comprehensive list of chat commands. If you don’t see the list, the version of Skype you are using is not supported.

For more information, click here.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you!

--secondary works. I use that one. I do not think --dbpath does anything, however. Neither --help nor --version do anything. There is no error message it merely launches Skype. So there is no particular way of knowing if a function will really be enabled/disabled. a man page would be a good idea as well.

It would be good to at least have --help working, something like this:

$ skype --help
Skype 4.3.0.37

Usage: skype [options]
Options:
  --dbpath=<path>       Specify an alternative path to store Skype data files.
                        Default: ~/.Skype
  --resources=<path>    Specify a path where Skype can find its resource files.
                        Default: /usr/share/skype
  --secondary           Start a secondary instance of Skype.
  --disable-api         Disable Skype Public API.
  --callto <nick>
  skype:<nick>?<action>
                        These commands allow Skype links handling.
  --pipelogin           Command line login. "echo username password | skype --pipelogin"
  --version             Display version information and exit.
