NAME

       bnstat - Battle.net statisics client

SYNOPSIS

       bnstat [options] [servername [serverport]]

DESCRIPTION

       bnstat  is  a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be used to gather player statistics.  It is also compatible with FSGS servers, but
       has difficulty with real Battle.net servers.

       If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed.  If no player  is	specified  on  the
       command	line,  bnstat(1)  will connect to the server and prompt for one from stdin.  All avaliable statistics for the emulated client type
       are formatted and displayed on stdout.

OPTIONS

       -b     Causes bnstat to emulate a Brood Wars client.

       --client
	      Causes bnstat to emulate a specific client.  The following client tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR  SEXP	W2BN.	There  are
	      short options which may be used instead for the common clients.

       --bnetd
	      Also attempt to gather bnetd(1) specific information.

       -d     Causes bnstat to emulate a Diablo client.

       --fsgs Also attempt to gather FSGS specific information.

       -h --help --usage
	      Print usage information and exit.

       -k --cdkey
	      Causes bnstat to report an alternate key to the bnetd(1) server.

       -o --owner
	      Causes bnstat to report an alternate owner to the bnetd(1) server.

       -p --player
	      Gather  statistics  only for the specified player and then exit.	This also avoids using login and terminal functions allowing it to
	      be used in shell scripts.

       -s     Causes bnstat to emulate a Starcraft client.

       -v --version
	      Print its version number and exit.

       -w     Causes bnstat to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.

NOTES

       The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

	      http://www.bnetd.org/

BUGS

       This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage return character (^M)  is  printed.
       It  also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left that character printed after that will replace those already
       on the screen.

       The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following are assumed:

       ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

       ^J     accept current line

       ^M (return)
	      accept current line

       ^T     transpose the last two characters

       ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

       ^U     delete the whole input line

       ^[ (escape)
	      cancel the current input line

       ^? (delete)
	      delete the character to the left of the cursor
