BNETD(1)                       The bnetd Project                      BNETD(1)

NAME
       bnetd - Unix Battle.net daemon

SYNOPSIS
       bnetd [-f] [-c configfile] [-d dumpfile]

DESCRIPTION
       bnetd is a program that will eventually completely emulate a Blizzard
       Battle.net server.  Currently Starcraft, Brood War, Diablo, and
       Warcraft II BNE are supported as clients.

       It is known to work under most versions of Unix and can also be used
       under Windows as a win32 console application.

OPTIONS
       -c --config
              Use this configuration file instead of the compiled-in default
              location.

       -d --hexdump
              Put a hex dump of packets sent and received into the specified
              file.

       -f --foreground
              The server normally acts as a daemon and goes into the
              background.  This forces the server to run in the foreground.

       -h --help --usage
              Print server usage information and exit.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.
