XBRLAPI(1) The BRLTTY Project XBRLAPI(1)

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:

The BrlAPI server to connect to.
The BrlAPI authorization/authentication string.
The X display to connect to. If not specified, the content of the DISPLAY environment variable is used.
Print a command line usage summary and then exit.
Print a thorough command line usage summary and then exit.
