NAME

       licq - ICQ client

SYNOPSIS

       licq [OPTION]... [-- PLUGIN-OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       licq is an ICQ instant messaging client daemon that supports a number of interfaces via plug-ins, primarily Qt, but also GTK+, console, and
       other utility plug-ins.	At least one plug-in is required for Licq to function.

OPTIONS

       -b DIR Set the base directory for configuration and data files (default: $HOME/.licq)

       -c     Disable color at standard output.

       -d NUMBER
	      Set what information is logged to standard output:
	      1 - status information
	      2 - unknown packets
	      4 - errors
	      8 - warnings
	      16 - all packets
	      Add values together for multiple options.

       -h     Print a help screen on standard output, then exit.

       -I     Force initialization of the given base directory.

       -o FILE
	      Redirect standard error to FILE, which can be a device (e.g., /dev/ttyp4).

       -p PLUGIN
	      Load the given plug-in library.

EXAMPLES

       To start licq with the KDE GUI plug-in:

	      licq -p kde-gui

       This choice is recorded, so next time it suffices to start without any options.

FILES

       $HOME/.licq/
	    per-user configuration data
