NAME

     gajim — a Jabber/XMPP client

SYNOPSIS

     gajim -h
     gajim [-q] [-v] [-l subsystem=level] [-p name] [-c directory]

DESCRIPTION

     gajim is a Jabber/XMPP client written in Python and GTK+.  gajim works nicely with GNOME,
     yet it does not require it to run.  gajim is designed for novice and advanced users as one,
     as well for XMPP server admins.

     XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a set of open technologies for
     instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration,
     lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. For more
     information on the XMPP protocol see <https://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/>.
