NAME

       bnstat - Battle.net statisics client

SYNOPSIS

       bnstat [options] [servername [serverport]]

DESCRIPTION

       bnstat  is  a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be used to gather player statistics.  It is also
       compatible with FSGS servers, but has difficulty with real Battle.net servers.

       If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed.  If
       no player is specified on the command line, bnstat(1) will connect to the server and prompt for one  from
       stdin.  All available statistics for the emulated client type are formatted and displayed on stdout.

OPTIONS

       -b     Causes bnstat to emulate a Brood Wars client.

       --client
              Causes  bnstat  to emulate a specific client.  The following client tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR
              STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN.  There are short options which may be used instead for the common clients.

       --bnetd
              Also attempt to gather bnetd(1) specific information.

       -d     Causes bnstat to emulate a Diablo client.

       --fsgs Also attempt to gather FSGS specific information.

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

       -k --cdkey
              Causes bnstat to report an alternate key to the bnetd(1) server.

       -o --owner
              Causes bnstat to report an alternate owner to the bnetd(1) server.

       -p --player
              Gather statistics only for the specified player and then exit.  This also avoids using  login  and
              terminal functions allowing it to be used in shell scripts.

       -s     Causes bnstat to emulate a Starcraft client.

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

       -w     Causes bnstat to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.

BUGS

       This  program  assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage
       return character (^M) is printed.  It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one  column  to
       the left that character printed after that will replace those already on the screen.

       The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following are assumed:

       ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

       ^J     accept current line

       ^M (return)
              accept current line

       ^T     transpose the last two characters

       ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

       ^U     delete the whole input line

       ^[ (escape)
              cancel the current input line

       ^? (delete)
              delete the character to the left of the cursor
