NAME

       pioneers - network implementation of Settlers of Catan


SYNOPSIS

       pioneers [ --server server ] [ --port port ] [ --name name ]


DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers command.

       Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
       of Catan" board game for the GNOME desktop environment.  It uses a
       client/server model for networked play of between two and eight
       players.  You will need to connect to a machine running either
       pioneers-server-gtk or pioneers-server-console to play.  An AI client,
       pioneersai, is also available.


OPTIONS

       Pioneers accepts the standard GTK+/GNOME commandline options, and the
       following options:

       -s, --server server
              Hostname of the server

       -p, --port port
              Portname of the server

       -n, --name name
              Use this name for the player instead of the name in the settings
              file

       -v, --spectator
              Connect as spectator instead of as a player

       -m, --metaserver metaserver
              Connect to this metaserver instead of the metaserver in the
              settings file

       --debug
              Turn on debugging mode

       --version
              Show the version and quit

       When the server and port are both provided, the client automatically
       quits when the connection is broken.


ENVIRONMENT

       The default settings can be influenced with the following environment
       variable:

       PIONEERS_METASERVER
              The hostname of the metaserver.  If it is not set, the default
              metaserver will be used.
