.SH NAME
|
| 26 |
bnbot \- Battle.net text-based chat bot client
|
| 27 |
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
| 28 |
.B bnbot
|
| 29 |
[\fIoptions\fP]
|
| 30 |
\fIservername\fP
|
| 31 |
[\fIserverport\fP]
|
| 32 |
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 33 |
.B bnbot
|
| 34 |
is a simple program which will allow communication through the bot protocol of a
|
| 35 |
Battle.net server from the command line. Input from stdin is sent to the server and
|
| 36 |
output from the server is send to stdout. The interface is so simple that
|
| 37 |
.BR telnet (1)
|
| 38 |
could be used. The only complicating factor is that a control-C character must be sent
|
| 39 |
to the server before any other input.
|
| 40 |
.LP
|
| 41 |
It is hoped that this program can be used with a scripting language like
|
| 42 |
.BR expect (1)
|
| 43 |
to make creation of chat bots for Unix easier. To date, I don't know of anyone doing
|
| 44 |
this. This program may also be used to test bot login permissions for accounts.
|
| 45 |
.LP
|
| 46 |
If no \fIservername\fP is specified, localhost is assumed. If no \fIserverport\fP is
|
| 47 |
specified, 6112 is assumed.
