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 Warcraft 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.

OPTIONS

       -c --config
              Use this configuration file instead of the compiled-in default location.

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

       -f --foreground
              The server normally acts as a daemon and goes into the background.  This forces the
              server to run in the foreground.

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

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