XCONF(1) Silicon Graphics XCONF(1)
NAME
xconf - local area network conferencing program.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/bin/xconf [-s server] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
This program creates a motif based graphical user interface
which allows input of messages, and provides an area for
viewing messages from other group members. Also, pop-up
dialogs are available for monitoring who is logged in, and
what groups are currently in use. In standard mode, the
program uses UDP multicast packets to send messages, and
listens by default on port 6090 for incoming messages. If
using the -s parameter, xconf makes a TCP connection to the
named server.
OPTIONS
-s server Connect directly to "server" rather than
multicast. -p port Connect and send using "port".
Normally, everything typed in the input area will be sent to
all members of the current group. The group will be set to
the value of the CONFGROUP environment variable at login
time. If this variable is not set, the initial group is
'def_group'. Once logged in, a user may change thier group
either with the ':g group-name' command or by clicking on
another group in the Groups dialog.
In addition, there are some commands available for sending
private messages, broadcast messages, and so forth. Command
lines start with ':' followed by the command to be
performed. The following list shows currently available
commands (square brackets '[]' indicate optional
characters/parameters):
:b[roadcast] msg ----- broadcast a message to all groups.
:c[hannel] user ------ open a private channel to 'user'.
:f[ind] user --------- report whether 'user' is logged in.
:g[roup] group ------- change your group to 'group'.
:h[elp] -------------- bring up the help dialog.
:n[ame] name --------- change your name to 'name'.
:q[uit] -------------- quit xconf.
:r[ing] user [msg] --- ring the bell of 'user'.
:s[end] user msg ----- send a private message to 'user'.
:u[rgent] msg -------- send an urgent message.
:v[ersion] ----------- show xconf version number.
:w[ho] --------------- bring up the user dialog.
The following entries may be put in $USER/.xdefaults to
control such features as the program's colors, and the fonts
