[Tex/LaTex] TeXShop command line arguments

texshop

Is there, somewhere, some documentation explaining what arguments TeXShop accepts when started, for example with the shell command "open" on mac os X?

My specific problem is that I would like to be able to open a pdf at a specific page with TeXShop, from a unix shell script. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks for any hint!

TeXShop does not accept command line options.

The open command allows a few (run open --help), but they only allow you to do generic things like open the file without bringing TeXShop to the foreground.

Edit: The open command does accept the --args option, which allows you to pass arguments directly to any application. These arguments are passed to the application's main function. TeXShop's main function does not do anything with its arguments.
