+ This page describes the command line arguments used pre 2.11.3.0 (released mid 2023).

+ and will be removed at some time in the future.

+ See
+ <a href="commandline.html">running Jalview from the command line</a>
+ for more information.
+ <br />
+ <br />Jalview processes arguments on the command line sequentially. If
+ you would like to pass a <a href="jvlfiles.html">'JVL' file</a> containing
+ <a href="../memory.html">memory settings</a> or any other launch
+ parameters, then include it at the beginning of the command line to
+ ensure they are processed before any remaining arguments.
+ <br>
+ Typical command line execution follows the following pattern:
+ <pre>
+ jalview -open <Alignment File/URL> [additional import arguments] [export arguments]
