KAlarm provides an interface to allow other applications to request the following functions:
schedule a new alarm
trigger or cancel an already scheduled alarm
cancel an already scheduled alarm
trigger an already scheduled alarm
display the alarm edit dialog
Each of the above functions is implemented both by a DCOP call and by the command line. DCOP calls should be used in preference if KAlarm is already running.
The DCOP calls described in this document are all implemented in
KAlarm's request
DCOP object. The interface is
defined in the file kalarmiface.h
.
In KAlarm version 1.2, the DCOP interface was completely revised to allow easier calling of functions, and to conform better to the standard KDE DCOP configuration. The old DCOP interface is currently still usable for compatibility purposes, but will be removed at some future date.
