NAME

     jitsi - a VoIP, videoconferencing and instant messaging application


SYNOPSIS

     jitsi [options] [uri-to-call]


DESCRIPTION

     Jitsi is a VoIP, videoconferencing and instant messaging application
     available in a variety of operating systems. It supports several
     protocols including SIP and SIMPLE, XMPP and Jingle, MSNP, YMSG, and
     OSCAR. These protocols are used by major communication services/networks
     (Google Talk, Facebook Chat, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ). Voice and
     video calls can be done using SIP and XMPP, file transfers with XMPP,
     MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR, and instant messaging with SIP (no multi-user
     chats), XMPP, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR.

     The following options are available:

     -c, --config= DIR
             Use the directory DIR for the configuration files. The default
             directory is $HOME/.jitsi

     -d, --debug
             Print debugging messages to stdout.

     -h, --help
             Print the current version, the list of available options, and
             exit.

     -m, --multiple
             Allow more than one instance launch.

     -6, --ipv6
             Force use of IPv6 addresses where possible.

     -4, --ipv4
             Force use of IPv4 addresses only.

     -v, --version
             Print the current version and exit.

     The optional uri-to-call parameter can be specified to start a call from
     the command-line. If Jitsi is already running then the call is handled by
     the running instance, except when it is explicitly told to allow multiple
     instance launch.


IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     Jitsi is an open source application mostly written in Java with some
     parts (such as audio/video capture and rendering) written in native code.
     Its GUI is based on the widget toolkit Swing. Its architecture is build
     upon the OSGi framework, using the implementation provided by Apache
     Felix.

     A good resource about the internals of Jitsi can be found in the `Jitsi
     Chapter' of the `The Architecture of Open Source Applications' book.
