+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+KVIrc is a Visual Internet Relay Chat client based on the Qt library.

+It is intended to be an "user friendly" interface to the IRC protocol (see \fIRFC1459\fP)
+and its extensions.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I 
+\fIKVIrc\fP accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B  \-h, \-\-help
+Display a list of all commandline options.
+.TP 8
+.B \-v, \-\-version
+Output the version info.
+.TP 8
+.B \-c \fI<configfile>\fP
+Use \fI<configfile>\fP as configuration file instead of ~/.kvircrc .
+.TP 8
+.B \-n \fI<configfile>\fP
+Use \fI<configfile>\fP as configuration file instead of ~/.kvircrc .
+Create if it doesn't exist.
+.TP 8
+.B \-f
+Force a new KVIrc session, even if there is already a running one.
+.TP 8
+.B \-e \fI<commands>\fP
+If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
+execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
+otherwise startup normally and execute \fI<commands>\fP.
+\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
+You can eventually use this switch more than once.
+.B \-x \fI<commands>\fP
+If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
+execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
+otherwise do nothing and exit.
+\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
+You can eventually use this switch more than once.
+.TP 8
+.B \-r \fI<commands>\fP
+If a KVirc session is already running on the same X display,
+execute the \fI<commands>\fP in that session,
+otherwise startup normally (and do NOT execute).
+\fI<commands>\fP must be a single shell token.
+You can eventually use this switch more than once.
+.TP 8
+.B \-m
+If a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup dialog
+instead of writing to the console.
+This is useful when starting KVIrc from a graphical taskbar button.
+.TP 8
+.B [server]
+Connect to this server upon startup.
+.TP 8
+.B [port]
+Use this port to connect to the server.
+This option requires also a server name.

+has been estabilished.

+.TP 8
+.B LANG

+.SH FILES
+
+\fB$PREFIX\fP/share/kvirc/\fBVERSION\fP/*
+Directory with the global KVIrc settings , modules etc...
+
+\fB$HOME\fP/.kvircrc This is the first file that KVIrc looks for.
+If the \-c commandline option is specified , the file passed
+as the option parameter is used instead of this one.
+If the file is found , KVIrc reads the first non-empty line
+and treats it as the path to the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.
+If the file can not be found or the \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP
+is not existing , KVIrc enters the setup mode and allows
+selecting a new \fIKVIrc Local directory\fP.
+
+\fBKVIrc Local directory\fP/*
+Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings.
+Similar to the global one.
