Name

xF - Terminal/X11 frontend for xC

Synopsis

xF [OPTION]…​ [HOST:PORT]

Description

xF is a frontend for the relay interface of the xC IRC client. It normally runs in the terminal, and can also use a graphical interface when built with support for one.

When an explicit relay address is given, it takes priority over configuration.

-g, --gui

Use the graphical interface even when running from a terminal.

-h, --help

Display a help message and exit.

-V, --version

Output version information and exit.

--write-default-cfg[=PATH]

Write a configuration file with defaults, show its path and exit.

The file will be appropriately commented.
