By default, tox operates with UDP and is recommended, as TCP mode implies certain security considerations. +.It Fl p Enable TCP SOCKS5 proxy as specified in config.def.h when the package was built. -By default when this option is enabled, ratox will use a proxy on \fI127.0.0.1\fR and port -\fI8080\fR. - -.SH File structure -In the following, \fI/\fR refers to the directory ratox has been started in. -.BR - -.SH Global slots (\fIname/\fR, \fIstatus/\fR, \fIrequest/\fR, \fInospam/\fR) - -Global slots allow you to change your name and status message and send and -accept friend requests. Each slot contains an \fBin\fR, \fBout\fR and -\fBerr\fR file or directory respectively. - -The \fBin\fR-file is a pipe waiting for user-input. If you want to change your -name or status, just pipe it to it. To send a friend request, pipe the Tox-ID -to \fBrequest/in\fR. - -The \fBout\fR-file contains the current state of a given parameter. In -\fIrequest/\fR, out is a directory containing named pipes for each pending -request. To accept or reject a friend request, pipe a \fI1\fR or \fI0\fR to a -FIFO respectively. - -.SH Friend slots - -For each friend added, ratox will create a folder in \fI/\fR named after the -friend's ID. It contains files and FIFOs to interact with your friends. - -\fBtext_in\fR and \fBfile_in\fR allow you to send messages and files just by piping them to them. -\fBtext_out\fR and \fBfile_out\fR allow you to read your friend's messages and accept file-transmissions. - -Accepting a file transmission is as easy as just piping the \fBfile_out\fR to a -file or other stream. - -\fBonline\fR, \fBname\fR, \fBstatus\fR and \fBfile_pending\fR are state-files -giving you information on the friend's status. -If you pipe a \fI1\fR to \fBremove\fR, the friend will be removed. - -.SH id file - -\fB/id\fR contains your own Tox-ID to pass on to your friends if you want them to add you. - -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.br -.B Homepage: +By default when this option is enabled, ratox will use a proxy on \fB127.0.0.1:8080\fR. +.El +.Sh CONFIGURATION +.Nm +is configured by modifying \fIconfig.h\fR and recompiling the code. Apart from +the command line options there are a few more options that can be tweaked at compile +time. +.Pp +Encrypting the save file can be done by setting \fBencryptdatafile\fR to \fB1\fR. +You can do this even if your current save file is not encrypted. The next time +.Nm +starts it will ask you to supply an encryption passphrase. +.Sh FILESYSTEM STRUCTURE +.Ss Global slots +Each of the following global slots contain an \fBin\fR, \fBout\fR and +\fBerr\fR file or directory respectively. Piping data into the \fBin\fR FIFO +modifies the state of the respective slot. If any output is expected it will +be found by reading \fBout\fR. Errors are reported via \fBerr\fR. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +.It Ar name/in +Change the name. +.It Ar name/out +Read the current name. +.It Ar nospam/in +Change the nospam value. +.It Ar nospam/out +Read the current nospam. +.It Ar state/in +Change the user state.
