Crosswalk Command Line Options - PeterWangIntel/crosswalk-website GitHub Wiki
This page is intended to document the command line options specific to Crosswalk.
Note that when you build a Crosswalk application for Android, you can define command-line options for the runtime when building the package with make_apk.py.
xwalk command line options
In the examples below, the Crosswalk binary is denoted with xwalk. On Windows, the executable is called xwalk.exe. On Tizen, it is in /usr/lib/xwalk/xwalk; but Crosswalk applications are typically launched via the Crosswalk service, defined in /usr/lib/systemd/user/xwalk.service.
| Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
--app-icon |
Specify the icon file path for the app window; supports both ICO and PNG file formats. | xwalk --app-icon=XXX.png |
--data-path |
Specify the folder name to use for the web app's configuration. This folder will be added under the system configuration folder. On Linux, the system configuration folder is $HOME/.config; on Windows, it is $USER/AppData/Local |
xwalk --data-path=myappData goes into a new directory named myapp under the system configuration folder. |
--fullscreen |
Launch the application in a fullscreen window. | xwalk --fullscreenLaunch Crosswalk in full screen mode. |
--remote-debugging-port |
Enable remote debugging on the given localhost port. | xwalk --remote-debugging-port=9222Access 'http://localhost:9222' in a Chrome browser to see all inspectable pages running under Crosswalk. |
--list-features-flags |

--proprietary-codec-lib-path |
Load the specified FFmpeg library, only works on Linux OS. The pre-built FFmpeg library doesn't ship with the necessary codecs for patented media formats, i.e. mp3, mp4. Alternatively, developers can try to use the library from matching Chrome version. | xwalk --proprietary-codec-lib-path=/opt/google/chrome/libffmpegsumo.so Load the specified FFmpeg library that supports proprietary codecs rather than the pre-build one. |
