NAME

       pioneers - network implementation of Settlers of Catan

SYNOPSIS

       pioneers [ --server server ] [ --port port ] [ --name name ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers command.

       Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers of Catan" board game
       for the GNOME desktop environment.  It uses a client/server model for  networked  play  of
       between  two  and  eight  players.   You  will need to connect to a machine running either
       pioneers-server-gtk or pioneers-server-console to play.  An AI client, pioneersai, is also
       available.

OPTIONS

       Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the following options:

       -s, --server server
              Hostname of the server

       -p, --port port
              Portname of the server

       -n, --name name
              Use this name for the player instead of the name in the settings file

       -v, --spectator
              Connect as spectator instead of as a player

       -m, --metaserver metaserver
              Connect to this metaserver instead of the metaserver in the settings file

       --debug
              Turn on debugging mode

       --version
              Show the version and quit

       When  the  server  and  port  are  both  provided, the client automatically quits when the
       connection is broken.

ENVIRONMENT

       The default settings can be influenced with the following environment variable:

       PIONEERS_METASERVER
              The hostname of the metaserver.  If it is not set, the default metaserver  will  be
              used.
