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.
