NAME

       gems-client - Show data transmitted by gems-server (1)

SYNOPSIS

       gems-client [-i] host [port]

       gems-client -h | -v

DESCRIPTION

       Connects  to  a  computer  running  gems-server(1) to show in the local
       terminal the data transmitted, in real time.

OPTIONS

       host   Hostname or IP address where the server is running.

       port   TCP port used by the server. Default: 6666.

       -i     Ignore server terminal size. If this  option  is  not  supplied,
              gems-client  disconnects  itself  whenever the local terminal is
              smaller than the terminal associated to the server.

       -h     Show a short help message.

       -v     Show version information.

FUNCTION KEYS

       While gems-client is running, some keys have special functions:

       q      Quit.

       a      Enable/disable  alarm  blocking.  When  active,  if  the  server
              transmits  an  alarm character (’\a’), the client ignores it, so
              the alarm does not play. This  is  specially  useful  when  many
              clients  are  present  in  the  same room, to avoid the annoying
              simultaneous beeps.
