NAME

       bnetd - Unix Battle.net® daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bnetd [-f] [-c configfile] [-d dumpfile]

DESCRIPTION

       bnetd   is   a  program  that  will  eventually  completely  emulate  a
       Battle.net® server.  Currently Starcraft®,  Brood  War®,  Diablo®,  and
       Warcraft® II BNE are supported as clients.

       It  is  known  to work under most versions of Unix and can also be used
       under Windows as a win32 console application.

OPTIONS

       -c --config
              Use this configuration file instead of the  compiled-in  default
              location.

       -d --hexdump
              Put  a  hex dump of packets sent and received into the specified
              file.

       -f --foreground
              The  server  normally  acts  as  a  daemon  and  goes  into  the
              background.  This forces the server to run in the foreground.

       -h --help --usage
              Print server usage information and exit.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.
