NAME

       Ekiga - SIP and H.323 Voice over IP and Videoconferencing for UN*X

SYNOPSIS

       ekiga [-d level] [-c URL]

DESCRIPTION

       Ekiga  is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing application which complies to the SIP
       and H.323 protocols. It can connect to a variety of other SIP and H323  applications  including  specific
       hardware.  Ekiga  can  work  with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or
       traditional audio+video communications. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been designed
       for  the  GNOME  desktop  and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure
       almost every option from within the GUI. Command-line options include -d  to  turn  on  debugging  during
       calls.  -c to call another URL.

OPTIONS

       -d level
              turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1 and 4.

       -c URL Calls  the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking that option. SIP, H.323 and CALLTO
              URLs are supported.

FILES

       /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/
              The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The  actual
              place can differ depending on your system's configuration)
       ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga
              Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details.

ENVIRONMENT

       On  startup  Ekiga  reads  the  system-wide  gconf  schemas  (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from
       /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps.  Every modification of the gconf keys using  the  GUI,  gconftool  or
       gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
