body: <p>What are the different ways of starting VLC media player from the command line in Linux?</p>
  
  <p>It is maddeningly difficult to find any information about this. Here is what I've discovered so far:</p>
  
  <p>vlc - start VLC media player<br />
  cvlc - start VLC media player without the interface<br />
  qvlc - start the Qt version of VLC media player<br /></p>
  
  <p>What about the others:<br /></p>
  
  <p>svlc - <br />
  rvlc - <br />
  nvlc - <br /></p>
