NAME

       kildclient - A powerful MUD client with a built-in Perl interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       kildclient [options]... [World]...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the KildClient program.

       KildClient  is  a MUD Client written with the GTK+ windowing toolkit. It supports many common features of
       other clients, such as triggers, gags, aliases, macros, timers, and much more. But its  main  feature  is
       the  built-in  Perl interpreter. You can at any moment execute Perl statements and functions to do things
       much more powerful than simply sending text the the mud. Perl statements can also be run, for example, as
       the  action  of a trigger, allowing you to do complex things. Some built-in functions of KildClient allow
       interaction with the world, such as sending commands to it.

       You can specify the name of one or more saved Worlds in the command line,  this/these  World(s)  will  be
       automatically  opened.  You  can  also specify a host name to connect to in the command line. By default,
       connection in made to port 4000. You can specify a different  port  by  using  hostname:port.  While  not
       recommended,   you   can   also   specify   a   username   and   password   with  the  following  syntax:
       username:password@hostname:port. This host specification syntax can be prefixed with  telnet://  and  end
       with /, for example telnet://some.mud.com:4444/.

       If  you  do not specify any World, you are prompted for the MUD to connect to. You can enter the host and
       port directly, or you can select from a list of saved MUDs. Once connected, type commands in the separate
       entry  box  and press ENTER to send them to the MUD. You can edit the commands before sending, since they
       only get sent when ENTER is pressed. You can recall previous commands with the arrow keys, or by pressing
       the button to the right of the command entry box.

       There are many more features, many options for configuring the program's behaviour. For more details, see
       the KildClient manual, which is usually installed in the /usr/share/doc/kildclient directory.
