NAME¶

xbrlapi - X11 BrlAPI helper for Linux/Unix

SYNOPSIS¶

xbrlapi [option ...]

DESCRIPTION¶

xbrlapi connects to a BrlAPI server in order to provide it with the ID of the X11 window which currently has focus. It also simulates X keysyms from braille key presses (else brltty would simulate them using a qwerty keyboard).

OPTIONS¶

Options are processed sequentially from left to right. If an option is specified more than once, or in case of a conflict, the rightmost specification takes precedence.

The following options are supported:

-b [host][:port] (--brlapi=)

The BrlAPI server to connect to.

-a string (--auth=)

The BrlAPI authorization/authentication string.

-d display (--display=)

The X display to connect to. If not specified, the content of the DISPLAY environment variable is used.

-h (--help)

Print a command line usage summary and then exit.

-H (--full-help)

Print a thorough command line usage summary and then exit.
