MICRODC(1)						      General Commands Manual							MICRODC(1)

NAME

       microdc - A command-line based Direct Connect client

SYNOPSIS

       microdc [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       microdc is a command-line based Direct Connect client that uses the GNU Readline library for user interaction. It was developed from ground
       up and does not depend on any other program. Despite the command-line user interface, microdc was designed to be user friendly  and  simple
       to use.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').

       -c, --config=FILE
	      Read configuration script from FILE rather than ~/.microdc/config.

       -n, --no-config
	      Do not read config file on startup.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       --filelist_refresh_interval=NUMBER
	      Local  filelist refresh interval (in seconds). If set to zero, program runs in a special slave mode: it never updates the file list,
	      just checks every minute if the filelist changes, and if so - reads it. This is pretty useful if you connect to several hubs and use
	      same filelist.

FILES

       The following files are used by microdc (~ represents the current user's home directory):

       ~/.microdc/config
	      This  file  is  loaded on startup. It contains commands, one per line, that will be executed on startup. You can override loading of
	      this file with --config and --no-config.

       ~/.microdc/history
	      This is the command history file. It contains a list of commands that were typed and executed from the microdc prompt. It can safely
	      be removed.
