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.
