    Hi, for Qt applications you can pass -platform offscreen on the command line and it will start the program without a GUI.
    How can I detect in my program, if it was started this way? QCommandLineParser does not seem to "see" this passed option.

      the platform plugin to load can also be set via env variable. in this case you wouldn't be able to catch it anyway using QCommandLineParser.

      QGuiApplication::platformName() reflects that though
