NAME

       KVIrc - un client IRC graphique.

SYNOPSIS

       kvirc [options] [server [port]] [ircurl [ircurl [...]]]

DESCRIPTION

       KVIrc est un client IRC visuel basée sur la bibliothéque Qt.

       Il  a  l'intention  d'être  une interface facile d'utilisation pour le protocole IRC (voir
       RFC1459) avec des extensions.

OPTIONS

       KVIrc acceptes les options suivantes :

       -h, --help
               Affiche une liste de toutes les commandes en lignes.

       -v, --version
               Affiche des informations sur la version.

       -c <fichier>
               Utilise <fichier> en tant que fichier de configuration au lieu de  ~/.kvirc.rc  Si
               <fichier> n'existe pas, utilise par défaut $HOME/.kvirc.rc

       -n <fichier>
               Utilise <fichier> en tant que fichier de configuration au lieu de ~/.kvirc.rc Crée
               <fichier> si il n'existe pas.

       -f      Force une nouvelle session de KVIrc, même si KVIrc est déjà lancer.

       -e <commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the  <commands>  in  that  session,
               otherwise  startup  normally  and  execute <commands>. <commands> must be a single
               shell token. You can eventually use this switch more than once.

       -x <commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the  <commands>  in  that  session,
               otherwise  do  nothing  and exit. <commands> must be a single shell token. You can
               eventually use this switch more than once.

       -r <commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the  <commands>  in  that  session,
               otherwise  start  up  normally (do not execute). <commands> must be a single shell
               token. You can eventually use this switch more than once.

       -m      If a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup dialog  instead
               of  writing  to  the  console. This is useful when starting KVIrc from a graphical
               taskbar button.

       --nosplash
               Do not show the splash screen at startup

       [server]
               Connect to this server after startup.

       [port]  Use this port for connection. This option requires also a server name.

       [ircurl]
               An url in the following form:

                 irc[6]://<server>[:<port>][/<channel>[?<pass>]]

               For each url on the commandline create a new irc-context and attempt to connect to
               <server>  on the specified <port>. The optional <channel> is joined just after the
               connection has been estabilished.

ENVIRONMENT

       KVIRC_LANG
               Language setting. If not set KVIrc will check for $LANG

       LANG    Language setting. If not set (or set to 'EN','POSIX' or 'C') KVIrc  will  use  the
               default language (english).

       FILES

              $PREFIX/share/kvirc/VERSION/*  Directory  with  the  global KVIrc settings, modules
              etc...

              $HOME/.kvirc.rc . This  is  the  first  file  that  KVIrc  looks  for.  If  the  -c
              commandline  option  is specified , the file passed as the option parameter is used
              instead of this one. If the file is found , KVIrc reads the  first  non-empty  line
              and  treats  it  as  the  path to the KVIrc Local directory. If the file can not be
              found or the KVIrc Local directory is not existing , KVIrc enters  the  setup  mode
              and allows selecting a new KVIrc Local directory.

              KVIrc Local directory/* Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings. Similar
              to the global one.
