NAME

xbrlapi - X11 BrlAPI helper for Linux/Unix

SYNOPSIS

xbrlapi [ option ...]

DESCRIPTION

xbrlapi connects to a BrlAPI server in order to provide it with the ID of the X11 window which currently has focus. It also simulates X keysyms from braille key presses (else brltty would simulate them using a qwerty keyboard). By default, it puts itself in the background, unless option -n is given.

OPTIONS

Options are processed sequentially from left to right. If an option is specified more than once, or in case of a conflict, the rightmost specification takes precedence.

The following options are supported:
-b
[ host ][: port ] ( --brlapi= )

The BrlAPI server to connect to.

-a string ( --auth= )

The BrlAPI authorization/authentication string.

-d display ( --display= )

The X display to connect to. If not specified, the content of the DISPLAY environment variable is used.

-n ( --no-daemon )

Keep xbrlapi in the foreground.

-q ( --quiet )

Do not write any text to the braille device.

-h ( --help )

Print a command line usage summary and then exit.

-H ( --full-help )

Print a thorough command line usage summary and then exit.
