barnowl

barnowl(1)						      General Commands Manual							barnowl(1)

NAME

       barnowl - tty based zephyr client

SYNOPSIS

       barnowl [ -n ] [ -d ] [ -D ] [ -v ] [ -h ] [ -c configfile ] [ -t tty ] [ -s configdir ]

DESCRIPTION

       BarnOwl is a fully integrated tty based instant messaging client.  Currently it supports AOL Instant Messenger, MIT Zephyr, and Jabber.	It
       is curses-based, allows for emacs-style editing of outgoing messages and uses perl as an extension  and	configuration  language.   BarnOwl
       will also run happily without a configuration file.

       Once  BarnOwl  is started, typing 'h' will display a help screen.  Typing ':' enters command mode, allowing the user to type a barnowl com-
       mand line.

USE

       The following command line options are avilable when running barnowl:

       -n

	      Do not subscribe to zephyr messages on startup.  By default BarnOwl subscribes to the default subscriptions and to anything found in
	      ~/.zephyr.subs.  When this option is used no subscriptions are loaded.

       -c configfile

	      Specifiy	an  alternate config file for BarnOwl to use.  By default, barnowl uses ~/.barnowlconf if it exists, and ~/.owlconf other-
	      wise.

       -s configdir

	      Specify an alternate configuration directory. By default, BarnOwl uses ~/.owl/.

       -t tty

	      Specifiy the tty name to use for the zephyr location.

       -v

	      Print the version number of barnowl and exit.

       -d

	      Enable debugging.  By default debugging information is placed in /var/tmp/owldebug.

       -D

	      Enable debugging, but first delete any existing debugging file.

       -h

	      Print command line option help.
