NAME

linphonec - Console interface of linphone, a SIP compatible internet phone.

SYNTAX

linphonec [ -d ] < debug_level > [ -l ] < debug_file > [ -c ] < config_file >
linphonec -v

DESCRIPTION

Linphonec is the console version of originally Gnome internet phone linphone (http://www.linphone.org) .
Linphonec can be started without arguments. It doesn’t need any config file to start correctly and will create a default one at the first startup if the file does not exist. By default the path of the config file is ˜/.linphonerc . Most parameters (proxy, passwords) can be changed from the command line, for some of them (path of sound rings), you’ll need to edit the .linphonerc config file.
Once linphonec has started, linphonec wait for some commands and is ready to receive calls.
The most important commands are
call <sip url> : to call someone. A sip url is in the form
sip:user@host

		terminate			: to terminate a call
		answer		: to accept an incoming call.
		help	: to display interactive help.

OPTIONS

-d < debug_level >

Use debug mode with given verbosity (debug_level). The debug_level is an integer in the range 0..5 .

-h

Output help information and exit.

-l < log_file >

Specifies a file where debug information will be written. Default is stdout.

-c < config_file >

Specifies the config file to read at startup.

FILES

˜/.linphonec ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES EXAMPLES BUGS Unlike linphonec the Qt-based graphical linphone application does not use ˜/.linphonerc by default anymore, but uses ˜/.config/linphone/linphonerc instead, and it is also the application that houses all migration logic for configuration files, chat logs etc. If you have any existing configuration and/or chat logs you should run the graphical linphone application to migrate it after every upgrade. Neither will linphonec create a pristine configuration file for you if none exists yet -- it defers to the GUI linphone application for this.
