.Dd December 1, 2014 .Dt RATOX 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ratox .Nd FIFO based tox client .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl 46tp .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm is a client implementation of the rather popular tox protocol. Unlike other clients relying on GUIs as an interface to the user, ratox is developed with the UNIX-philosophy in mind and allows complete interaction through FIFOs. .Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl 4 Switch to IPv4-only mode. This is the default. .It Fl 6 Switch to IPv6-only mode. .It Fl t Enable TCP mode. 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 \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. Possible values are \fBnone\fR, \fBaway\fR and \fBbusy\fR. .It Ar state/out Read current user state. .It Ar status/in Change the status message. .It Ar status/out Read current status message. .It Ar request/in Initiate a friend request by echoing your friend's tox-id to the input FIFO. .It Ar request/out/ Echo \fB1\fR or \fB0\fR to accept or reject the friend request respectively. .El .Ss Friend slots Friend slots allow you to communicate with your friends. They handle sending text messages, files or starting a voice call. .Pp .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .It Ar call_in Initiate a call by attaching an audio source to this FIFO. For example arecord -r 48000 -c 1 -f S16_LE > \fBcall_in\fR. .It Ar call_out Answer an incoming call by piping it into an audio sink. For example aplay -r 48000 -c 1 -f S16_LE < \fBcall_out\fR. .It Ar call_state Reports the call state, possible values are \fBnone\fR, \fBpending\fR and \fBactive\fR. .It Ar file_in Initiate a file transfer. For example cat file > \fBfile_in\fR. .It Ar file_out Accept an incoming file transfer. For example cat \fBfile_out\fR > file. .It Ar file_pending Contains filename if transfer is pending, empty otherwise. .It Ar name The friend's name. .It Ar online It is \fB1\fR if the friend is online, \fB0\fR otherwise. .It Ar remove Echo \fB1\fR to remove a friend. .It Ar state The friend's user state. Possible values are \fBnone\fR, \fBaway\fR and \fBbusy\fR. .It Ar status The friend's status message. .It Ar text_in Send a text message to the friend by echoing data to this FIFO. .It Ar text_out Receive text messages from the friend by reading from this file. For example tail -f \fBtext_out\fR. .El .Ss Misc files .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .It Ar id Read your current tox-id. .El .Sh SEE ALSO http://ratox.2f30.org/ .Sh AUTHOR This manual page was written by kytv and heavily modified by sin .
