qdbus org.keepassxc.MainWindow /keepassxc org.keepassxc.MainWindow.openDatabase /path/to/database.kdbx passwd

• Open keepassxc database: with password and key file

qdbus org.keepassxc.MainWindow /keepassxc org.keepassxc.MainWindow.openDatabase /path/to/database.kdbx passwd /path/to/key

• Lock all keepassxc databases

qdbus org.keepassxc.MainWindow /keepassxc org.keepassxc.MainWindow.lockAllDatabases

• Close all keepassxc databases

qdbus org.keepassxc.MainWindow /keepassxc org.keepassxc.MainWindow.closeAllDatabases

Develop

Regenerate XML file for DBus ( If MainWindow class public methods were modified )

cd src/gui    
qdbusxml2cpp -c MainWindowAdaptor -a MainWindowAdaptor.h:MainWindowAdaptor.cpp org.keepassxc.MainWindow.xml

It can be usefull to know how to generate the XML adaptor

Generate template from sources

qdbuscpp2xml -M -s MainWindow.h -o org.keepassxc.MainWindow.xml

Make sure interface name is org.keepassxc.MainWindow

<interface name="org.keepassxc.MainWindow">
