Command line options

Overview

Option	Short	Long	Argument
File	-f	--file	Path to the save file to load at startup
HTTP server port	-p	--port	The TCP port to run the HTTP server on (1024 - 65535)
GRIP version	-v	--version	Prints the current version of GRIP and exits
Print help	-h	--help	Prints a help message and exits
Enable headless mode (UI/application only)		--headless	Starts GRIP in headless mode.

Note: if running on a roboRIO or other memory-limited system, you should use the -Xmx and -XX:MaxNewSize JVM options to limit the amount of memory GRIP uses. Suggested values are -Xmx50m and -XX:MaxNewSize=16m, but you can tune these if needed

Examples

Setting a file to load

$ /path/to/grip.jar --file /home/user/my_grip_file.grip

Setting the HTTP port number

This is useful if running GRIP on an FRC robot (roboRIO or coprocessor) and you want to be able to connect to the HTTP server from the driver station

$ java -jar /path/to/grip.jar --port 5805

Note for FRC: the FMS allows connections on ports 5800-5810 for user programs. You can use any of these ports if they're not already used by other programs.
