NAME
       freeciv-modpack - Custom content installer for the Freeciv game


SYNOPSIS
       freeciv-modpack [ -h|--help ] [ -L|--List URL ] [ -p|--prefix directory ] [ -v|--version ]


DESCRIPTION
       Freeciv  is  a  free  turn-based  multiplayer strategy game, in which each player becomes the leader of a
       civilization, fighting to obtain the ultimate goal: To become the greatest civilization.

       Players of Civilization II® by Microprose® should feel at home, since one  aim  of  Freeciv  is  to  have
       compatible rules.

       Freeciv  is  maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most
       fun and addictive network games out there!

       This is the custom content installer program - see also freeciv-server(6) freeciv-client(6) .

       This program allows users to select and  download  add-on  content  ("modpacks")  for  Freeciv  from  the
       Internet,  either  from a list maintained by the Freeciv team, or by using a URL obtained by other means.
       It takes care of installing the files in the correct place under  the  user's  home  directory  for  this
       version of Freeciv; it does not install anything for system-wide use.

       This  manual  page  only  lists  the command line arguments. For details regarding the options when using
       freeciv-modpack see the documentation at the Freeciv website ⟨http://www.freeciv.org/⟩  as  well  as  the
       documentation which is part of the Freeciv distribution.


OPTIONS

       complete word); their effects are identical.

       -h, --help
              Prints a short summary of the command line options.
