NAME

       kildclient - A powerful MUD client with a built-in Perl interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       kildclient [options]... [World]...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the KildClient program.

       KildClient  is  a  MUD Client written with the GTK+ windowing toolkit. It supports many common features of other clients, such as triggers,
       gags, aliases, macros, timers, and much more. But its main feature is the built-in Perl interpreter. You can at	any  moment  execute  Perl
       statements  and	functions to do things much more powerful than simply sending text the the mud. Perl statements can also be run, for exam-
       ple, as the action of a trigger, allowing you to do complex things. Some built-in functions of KildClient allow interaction with the world,
       such as sending commands to it.

       You  can  specify  the name of one or more saved Worlds in the command line, this/these World(s) will be automatically opened. You can also
       specify a host name to connect to in the command line. By default, connection in made to port 4000. You can specify  a  different  port	by
       using hostname:port. While not recommended, you can also specify a username and password with the following syntax: username:password@host-
       name:port. This host specification syntax can be prefixed with telnet:// and end with /, for example telnet://some.mud.com:4444/.

       If you do not specify any World, you are prompted for the MUD to connect to. You can enter the host and port directly, or  you  can  select
       from  a	list  of saved MUDs. Once connected, type commands in the separate entry box and press ENTER to send them to the MUD. You can edit
       the commands before sending, since they only get sent when ENTER is pressed. You can recall previous commands with the arrow  keys,  or	by
       pressing the button to the right of the command entry box.

       There  are  many more features, many options for configuring the program's behaviour. For more details, see the KildClient manual, which is
       usually installed in the /usr/share/doc/kildclient directory.
