+.SH NAME
+indiserver \- INDI server for telescope control under KStars
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B indiserver
+[ \fB\-p\fP \fIport\fP ]
+[ \fB\-r\fP \fIattempts\fP ]
+[ \fB\-vv\fP ]
+\fIdriver\fP [ \fIdriver\fP ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+KStars allows you to configure
+and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via
+the INDI protocol. \fBindiserver\fP is a server that sits between the
+KStars user interface and the low-level hardware drivers.
+.PP
+The INDI server is a network server, in that either local or remote clients
+may connect to it to control astronomical instruments. The INDI server must
+be running on the machine that is physically connected to the
+astronomical instruments.
+.PP
+Note that there is no need for you to run the INDI server directly. Using
+the KStars device manager, you can set up astronomical instruments and start
+or stop the INDI server all from within KStars.
+.PP
+You may however choose to run the INDI server manually from the command
+line. In this case you must pass the names of one or more drivers for
+individual astronomical instruments. The current list of available
+drivers is:
+.PP
+.RS
+celestrongps (Celestron GPS)
+.br
+fliccd (Finger Lakes Instruments CCD)
+.br
+lx200_16 (LX200 16")
+.br
+lx200autostar (LX200 Autostar)
+.br
+lx200classic (LX200 Classic)
+.br
+lx200generic (LX200 Generic)
+.br
+lx200gps (LX200 GPS)
+.br
+temma (Temma Takahashi)
+.br

+v4lphilips (Philips Webcam)

+Much more detailed information can be found in the KStars Handbook, as
+described below.

+KStars is a graphical desktop planetarium for KDE, and forms part of
+the official KDE edutainment module.

+The KStars Handbook contains detailed information on how to use INDI for
+telescope control. You can read this handbook in the KDE Help Centre.
+Alternatively you can enter the URL
+\fIhelp:/kstars/indi.html\fP
+directly into konqueror or you can run
+`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kstars/indi.html\fP'
+from the command-line.
+.PP
+If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the package
+\fIkdeedu-doc-html\fP and read this documentation in HTML format from
+\fI/opt/trinity/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kstars/indi.html\fP.
