NAME

       bnetd - Unix Battle.net daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bnetd [-f] [-c configfile] [-d dumpfile]

DESCRIPTION

       bnetd  is a program that will eventually completely emulate a Blizzard Battle.net server.  Currently Starcraft, Brood War, Diablo, and War-
       craft II BNE are supported as clients.

       It is known to work under most versions of Unix and can also be used under Windows as a win32 console application.

       -d --hexdump
	      Put a hex dump of packets sent and received into the specified file.

       -f --foreground
