.TH KVIRC 1 "26/02/2005" Version 3.2.0
.SH NAME
KVIrc - an Internet Relay Chat client.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kvirc [options] [server [port]] [ircurl [ircurl [...]]]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
KVIrc is a Visual Internet Relay Chat client based on the Qt library.
.PP
It is intended to be an "user friendly" interface to the IRC protocol (see \fIRFC1459\fP)
and its extensions.
.SH OPTIONS
.I 
\fIKVIrc\fP accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B  \-h, \-\-help
Display a list of all commandline options.
.TP 8
.B \-v, \-\-version
Output the version info.
.TP 8
.B \-c \fI<configfile>\fP
Use \fI<configfile>\fP as configuration file instead of ~/.kvircrc .
.TP 8
.B \-n \fI<configfile>\fP
Use \fI<configfile>\fP as configuration file instead of ~/.kvircrc .
Create if it doesn't exist.
.TP 8
.B \-f
Force a new KVIrc session, even if there is already a running one.
.TP 8
.B \-e \fI<commands>\fP
If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
otherwise startup normally and execute \fI<commands>\fP.
\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
You can eventually use this switch more than once.
.B \-x \fI<commands>\fP
If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
otherwise do nothing and exit.
\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
You can eventually use this switch more than once.
.TP 8
.B \-r \fI<commands>\fP
If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
otherwise startup normally (and do NOT execute).
\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
You can eventually use this switch more than once.
.TP 8
.B \-m
If a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup dialog
instead of writing to the console.
This is useful when starting KVIrc from a graphical taskbar button.
.TP 8
.B [server]
Connect to this server upon startup.
.TP 8
.B [port]
Use this port to connect to the server.
This option requires also a server name.
.TP 8
.B [ircurl]
An url in the following form:

  irc[6]://<server>[:<port>][/<channel>[?<pass>]]

For each url on the commandline create a new irc-context
and attempt to connect to <server> on the specified <port>.
The optional <channel> is joined just after the connection
has been estabilished.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B LANG
Language setting.
If not set (or set to 'EN','POSIX' or 'C') KVIrc will use the default language (english).
.TP 8

.SH FILES

\fB$PREFIX\fP/share/kvirc/\fBVERSION\fP/*
Directory with the global KVIrc settings , modules etc...

\fB$HOME\fP/.kvircrc This is the first file that KVIrc looks for.
If the \-c commandline option is specified , the file passed
as the option parameter is used instead of this one.
If the file is found , KVIrc reads the first non-empty line
and treats it as the path to the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.
If the file can not be found or the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP
is not existing , KVIrc enters the setup mode and allows
selecting a new \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.

\fBKVIrc Local directory\fP/*
Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings.
Similar to the global one.
