NAME
     KVIrc - an Internet Relay Chat client.

SYNOPSIS
     kvirc [options] [server [port]] [ircurl [ircurl [...]]]

DESCRIPTION
     KVIrc is a Visual Internet Relay Chat client based on the Qt library.

     It  is intended to be an "user friendly" interface to the IRC protocol (see
     RFC1459) and its extensions.

OPTIONS
     KVIrc accepts the following options:

     -h, --help
	     Display a list of all commandline options and exit.

     -v, --version
	     Output the version info.

     -c <file>
	     Use <file> as configuration file instead  of  ~/.kvirc4.rc  .   De-
	     faults to $HOME/.kvirc4.rc if <file> doesn't exists

     -n <file>
	     Use  <file> as configuration file instead of ~/.kvirc4.rc .  Create
	     <file> if it doesn't exist.

     -f      Force a new KVIrc session, even if there is already a running one.

     -e <commands>
	     If a KVIrc session is already running, execute  the  <commands>  in
	     that  session,  otherwise	startup normally and execute <commands>.
	     <commands> must be a single shell token.  You  can  eventually  use
	     this switch more than once.

     -x <commands>
	     If  a  KVIrc  session is already running, execute the <commands> in
	     that session, otherwise do nothing and exit.  <commands> must be  a
	     single  shell  token.  You can eventually use this switch more than
	     once.

     -r <commands>
	     If a KVIrc session is already running, execute  the  <commands>  in
	     that  session, otherwise start up normally (do not execute).  <com-
	     mands> must be a single shell token.  You can eventually  use  this
	     switch more than once.

     -m      If  a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup
	     dialog instead of writing to the  console.   This	is  useful  when
	     starting KVIrc from a graphical taskbar button.

     [server]
	     Connect to this server after startup.

     [port]  Use  this	port for connection.  This option requires also a server
	     name.

     [ircurl]
	     An URL in the following form:

	       irc[6]://<server>[:<port>][/<channel>[?<pass>]]

	     For each URL on the commandline create a new  irc-context	and  at-
	     tempt to connect to <server> on the specified <port>.  The optional
	     <channel> is joined just after the connection has been established.

ENVIRONMENT
     KVIRC_LANG
	     Language setting.	If not set KVIrc will check for $LANG

     LANG    Language setting.	If not set (or set to 'EN','POSIX' or 'C') KVIrc
	     will use the default language (English).

     FILES

	    $PREFIX/share/kvirc/VERSION/*  Directory  with the global KVIrc set-
	    tings, modules etc...

	    $HOME/.kvirc4.rc . This is the first file that KVIrc looks for.   If
	    the  -c commandline option is specified , the file passed as the op-
	    tion parameter is used instead of this one.  If the file is found  ,
	    KVIrc  reads  the  first non-empty line and treats it as the path to
	    the KVIrc Local directory.	If the file can  not  be  found  or  the
	    KVIrc  Local directory is not existing , KVIrc enters the setup mode
	    and allows selecting a new KVIrc Local directory.

	    KVIrc Local directory/* Directory with the local  (per  user)  KVIrc
	    settings.  Similar to the global one.
