toxic(1) ======== NAME ---- toxic - CLI client for Tox SYNOPSIS -------- *toxic* [-f 'data-file'] [-x] [-4] [-c 'config-file'] [-n 'nodes-file'] [-h] DESCRIPTION ----------- toxic is an ncurses-based instant messaging client for Tox which formerly resided in the Tox core repository, and is now available as a standalone application. OPTIONS ------- -4, --ipv4:: Force IPv4 connection -b, --debug:: Enable stderr for debugging. Redirect output to avoid breaking the curses interface and better capture messages. -c, --config config-file:: Use specified 'config-file' instead of '~/.config/tox/toxic.conf' -d, --default-locale:: Use default locale -e, --encrypt-data:: Encrypt an unencrypted data file. An error will occur if this option is used with an encrypted data file. -f, --file data-file:: Use specified 'data-file' instead of '~/.config/tox/toxic_profile.tox' -h, --help:: Show help message -l, --logging:: Enable toxcore logging to stderr -n, --nodes nodes-file:: Use specified 'nodes-file' for DHT bootstrap nodes instead of '~/.config/tox/DHTnodes.json' -o, --noconnect:: Do not connect to the DHT network -p, --SOCKS5-proxy:: Use a SOCKS5 proxy: Requires [IP] [port] -P, --HTTP-proxy:: Use a HTTP proxy: Requires [IP] [port] -r, --namelist:: Use specified nameservers list -t, --force-tcp:: Force TCP connection (use this with proxies) -T, --tcp-relay:: Act as a TCP relay server for the network (Note: this uses significantly more bandwidth) -u, --unencrypt-data:: Unencrypt a data file. A warning will appear if this option is used with a data file that is already unencrypted. FILES ----- ~/.config/tox/DHTnodes.json:: Default location for list of DHT bootstrap nodes (list obtained from https://nodes.tox.chat). This list is automatically updated. See *toxic.conf*(5) for details on controlling the update frequency. ~/.config/tox/toxic_profile.tox:: Savestate which contains your personal info (nickname, Tox ID, contacts, etc) ~/.config/tox/toxic.conf:: Configuration file. See *toxic.conf*(5) for more details. {datadir}/toxic.conf.example:: Configuration example. BUGS ---- -Unicode characters with a width larger than 1 column may cause strange behaviour. -Text occasionally fails to auto-scroll to the bottom. -Screen flickering sometimes occurs on certain terminals.
