DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-c config-file, --config=config-file
    Use config-file as the configuration file for the session. By having more configuration files you can manage more games. The default name is .myxec .

-f data-file, --file=data-file
    When leaving the program the local data state is saved in the given file. You can have different files for different games. The default name is .myxec-data .

-h, --help
    Show command line options of the program.

-p port, --port=port
    Selects the port of the empire server. This can be a numeric value or a symbol in which case it must be a valid port defined in /etc/services . If this parameter is not given the program looks for the environment variables EMPIREPORT . If even this is not found it looks in the file /etc/services for the service empire . As a default value the information which was given at compile time is used.

-s server, --server=server
    Select the empire server to be used. The parameter server can be given in numeric form (dotted decimal notation) or as a symbol. In the later case the symbol must be resolvable to an host. If this parameter is not given the environment variable EMPIREHOST is examined. If even this fails the compiled in value is used.

-v , --version
    Display information about the current version.
