NAME

       Ekiga - SIP and H.323 Voice over IP and Videoconferencing for UN*X

SYNOPSIS

       ekiga [-d level] [-c URL]

DESCRIPTION

       Ekiga  is  a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing application which complies to the SIP and H.323 protocols. It can con-
       nect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific hardware. Ekiga can work with or without a webcam, and is  able	to
       create  pure  audio  communications  or	traditional  audio+video  communications. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been
       designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure  almost  every  option  from
       within the GUI. Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging during calls.  -c to call another URL.

OPTIONS

       -d level
	      turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1 and 4.

       -c URL Calls the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking that option. SIP, H.323 and CALLTO URLs are supported.

FILES

       /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/
	      The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on your
	      system's configuration)
       ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga
	      Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details.

ENVIRONMENT

       On startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other  GNOME2  app  should  do)  from  /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps.
       Every modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
