NAME

       telepathy-gabble - Telepathy connection manager for XMPP (Jabber)

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-gabble

DESCRIPTION

       Gabble  implements the Telepathy D-Bus specification for XMPP (Jabber), allowing Telepathy
       clients like empathy(1) to connect to XMPP accounts, including Google Talk.

       It is a D-Bus service which runs on  the  session  bus,  and  should  usually  be  started
       automatically  by  D-Bus  activation. However, it might be useful to start it manually for
       debugging.

OPTIONS

       There are no command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT

       GABBLE_LOGFILE=filename
              If set, debug output will go to the given file rather than  to  stderr.   If  +  is
              prepended  to the filename (e.g.  GABBLE_LOGFILE=+gabble.log), debug output will be
              appended to the file; otherwise, any existing file will be replaced.

       GABBLE_DEBUG=type
              May be set to "all" for full debug output, or various undocumented  options  (which
              may change from release to release) to filter the output.

       WOCKY_DEBUG=type
              May  be  set  to  "all"  for  full debug output from the Wocky XMPP library used by
              Gabble, or various undocumented options (which may change from release to  release)
              to filter the output. For general Gabble debugging, "net" is recommended.

       GABBLE_PERSIST=1
              If  set  (to  any  value),  Gabble  will continue running until killed, rather than
              timing out if it has no open connections for a few seconds.

       GABBLE_PLUGIN_DIR=directory
              If set, and Gabble was compiled with plugin support, plugins will  be  loaded  from
              directory rather than from the default directory.
