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 <com-
	       mands>.	<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).
	       <commands> 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
	       attempt 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
	      settings,	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  option  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 en-
	      ters the setup mode and allows selecting a new KVIrc  Local  di-
	      rectory.

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