NAME

       bnetd - Unix Battle.net daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bnetd [-f] [-c configfile] [-d dumpfile]

DESCRIPTION

       bnetd  is  a  program  that  will  eventually completely emulate a Blizzard Battle.net server.  Currently
       Starcraft, Brood War, Diablo, and Warcraft II BNE are supported as clients.

       It is known to work under most versions of Unix and can also be used under Windows  as  a  win32  console
       application.

OPTIONS

       -c --config
              Use this configuration file instead of the compiled-in default location.

       -d --hexdump
              Put a hex dump of packets sent and received into the specified file.

       -f --foreground
              The  server normally acts as a daemon and goes into the background.  This forces the server to run
              in the foreground.

       -h --help --usage
              Print server usage information and exit.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.
