SYNOPSISclimm [-h] [-c] [-b <basedir>] [-i <locale>] [-v[level]] [-l <log‐
place>] [-u <UIN>] [-p <passwd>] [-s <status>] [-C <commands>]
DESCRIPTIONclimm is a text based ICQ client supporting many of the ICQ features
provided by the client by Mirabilis. climm allows to change the user
password, create new accounts, updating user info, search other users,
send SMS, open direct connections, send acknowledged messages, transfer
files, detect other user's client, send UTF-8 encoded messages, execute
arbitrary commands upon any event, etc.

-b|--basedir <basedir>
Specify basedir as the base directory where climm will look for
its files, in particular its climmrc file.
-i|--i18n <locale>
Use the locale locale instead of the one derived from environ‐
ment variables.
-v|--verbose[level]
Set verbose mode, or set verbosity to level.
-l|--logplace <file>|<dir>

-C|--cmd <commands>

USAGE
Upon first start (for the given base directory), climm will ask for a
UIN, or create a new one. After the first login, the server based con‐
tact list will be imported automatically.
Basic commands include msg to message other contacts (try pressing the
<tab> key several times on an empty input line to bring up msg commands
to message contacts recently talked to), add to add new contacts,
update, other, and about to change your meta data on the ICQ server,
and, of course, help for online help. A complete list of commands is
available in the climmcmds(7) man page.
FEATURESclimm is very portable and runs on Linux, DOS, OS/2, Win32, BeOS, Ami‐
gaOS, GNU HURD and any other modern unix system. climm version 0.5 is
known to run on Linux, AIX, HPUX, Tru64, AmigaOS, partially BeOS and
other unices. However, the other ports may or may not still work and
anyone wishing to test them is welcome to.
