<listitem>
<para>Call &DCOP; for each line read from stdin.</para>
<para>This is roughly equivalent to calling <userinput>while read line
; do dcop $line ; done</userinput> but because no new
<command>dcop</command> instance has to be started for each line this
is generally much faster, especially for the slower GNU dynamic
linkers.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Connect to the given user's &DCOP; server. This option will
ignore the values of the environment vars $<envar>DCOPSERVER</envar>
and $<envar>ICEAUTHORITY</envar>, even if they are set.</para>
<para>If the user has more than one open session, you must also use
one of the <option>--list-sessions</option>,
<option>--session</option> or <option>--all-sessions</option>
command-line options.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--all-users</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Send the same &DCOP; call to all users with a running &DCOP;
server. Only failed calls to existing &DCOP; servers will generate an
error message. If no &DCOP; server is available at all, no error will
be generated.</para>
