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 spec-
ification 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.
-q (--quiet)
Do not write any text to the braille device.
-h (--help)
Print a command line usage summary and then exit.
-H (--full-help)
Print a thorough command line usage summary and then exit.
