$ nochetoclient --help Nocheto Client 0.33, Ubuntu19_10, author: Petr BĂlek (nocheto.sallyx.org) USAGE: nochetoclient [-h | --help] [-d| --debug] [-c | --config <file.ini>] [-b | --board <boardtype>] [-p | --port <port>] [-i | --host <host>] [-m| --mode <mode>] file.ini - Read configuration from this file (after reading nocheto.ini and client.ini) boardtype - Board GUI (iso, utf8, ascii, compressed) (default utf8) port - port number where to connect to server (default 8001) host - ip address where to connect to server (default 127.0.0.1) mode - board or analyze (default board)
Debug
Use --debug
to debug nochetoclient. This is mainly for developing purposes, you probably wouldn't need to use this.
Config
Use --config filename.ini
to read configuration file.
Nochetoclient always read ~/.nocheto/configs/nocheto.ini
and ~/.nocheto/configs/client.ini
files first and then the file required by
--config
option. So you can use this to create ini configuration with different configuration for different client usage.
The filename can be absolute path (i.e. ~/.nocheto/configs/tweak.ini
) or just a basename
(i.e. tweak.ini
) in which case the full path is assembled from this basename
and ~/.nocheto/configs/
.
Board type
Use --board boardtype
to select the desired
view. Available boards are: iso
, utf8
(the default), ascii
and compressed
.
See board type in nocheto.
Port
Use --port PORT number
to select port on which clients looks for nocheto.
Port number can by any number between 1024 and 65535, but it must be the same you used with ipv4
command
in nocheto.
Host
Use --host IP address
to connect to nocheto on a different computer.
Make shure there is no firewall blocking your connection.
Mode
Use --mode mode
to select one of the modes nochetoclient can run.
Right now, there are two modes: board
(the default) and analyze
.
Board mode doesn't necessarily means you will see chess board. What you will see depends on the config file(s) nochetoclient reads.
