.TH RATOX "1" "October 2014"
.SH NAME
ratox - FIFO based tox client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ratox
[\fIOPTION1\fR) [\fIOPTION2\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
ratox 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 named pipes.
.TP
\fB\-4\fR
Switch to IPv4-only mode
.TP
\fB\-6\fR
Switch to IPv6-only mode
.TP
\fB\-t\fR
Enable TCP mode. By default, Tox operates with UDP and is recommended, as TCP mode implies certain security considerations.
.TP
\fB\-p\fR
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.
