Display brief usage help.
file...
A list of one or more files to be loaded into QGIS at startup. Files must consist of a data format supported by QGIS and only disk-based formats can be loaded using this method. This includes shapefiles, MapInfo files, and most raster formats. Data stores that cannot be loaded in this way include PostGIS layers in a PostgreSQL database and GRASS vector/raster data.

~/.config/QGIS/qgis.conf
QGIS preferences file. This file stores windows size/location, loaded plugins, user options, and other application settings.

See the QGIS home page (http://qgis.org) for a list of known issues with the latest release.
