NAME

       iceauth - ICE authority file utility

SYNOPSIS

       iceauth [ -f authfile ] [ -vqib ] [ command arg ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       The iceauth program is used to edit and display the authorization information used in connecting with ICE.  This program is usually used to

       other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively, on the iceauth command line, or in scripts.
