NAME

       toxic - CLI client for Tox

SYNOPSIS

       toxic [-f data-file] [-x] [-4] [-c config-file] [-n nodes-file] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       toxic is an ncurses-based instant messaging client for Tox which formerly resided in the
       Tox core repository, and is now available as a standalone application.

OPTIONS

       -4, --ipv4
           Force IPv4 connection

       -b, --debug
           Enable stderr for debugging. Redirect output to avoid breaking the curses interface
           and better capture messages.

       -c, --config config-file
           Use specified config-file instead of ~/.config/tox/toxic.conf

       -d, --default-locale
           Use default locale

       -e, --encrypt-data
           Encrypt an unencrypted data file. An error will occur if this option is used with an
           encrypted data file.

       -f, --file data-file
           Use specified data-file instead of ~/.config/tox/toxic_profile.tox

       -h, --help
           Show help message

       -l, --logging
           Enable toxcore logging to stderr

       -n, --nodes nodes-file
           Use specified nodes-file for DHT bootstrap nodes instead of
           ~/.config/tox/DHTnodes.json

       -o, --noconnect
           Do not connect to the DHT network

       -p, --SOCKS5-proxy
           Use a SOCKS5 proxy: Requires [IP] [port]

       -P, --HTTP-proxy
           Use a HTTP proxy: Requires [IP] [port]

       -r, --namelist
           Use specified nameservers list

       -t, --force-tcp
           Force TCP connection (use this with proxies)

       -T, --tcp-relay
           Act as a TCP relay server for the network (Note: this uses significantly more
           bandwidth)

       -u, --unencrypt-data
           Unencrypt a data file. A warning will appear if this option is used with a data file
           that is already unencrypted.

FILES

       ~/.config/tox/DHTnodes.json
           Default location for list of DHT bootstrap nodes (list obtained from
           https://nodes.tox.chat). This list is automatically updated. See toxic.conf(5) for
           details on controlling the update frequency.

       ~/.config/tox/toxic_profile.tox
           Savestate which contains your personal info (nickname, Tox ID, contacts, etc)

       ~/.config/tox/toxic.conf
           Configuration file. See toxic.conf(5) for more details.

       /usr/share/toxic/toxic.conf.example
           Configuration example.

BUGS

       -Unicode characters with a width larger than 1 column may cause strange behaviour.

       -Screen flickering sometimes occurs on certain terminals.

       -Resizing the terminal window when a game window is open will break things.
