NAME
Ekiga - SIP and H.323 Voice over IP and
Videoconferencing for UN*X
SYNOPSIS
ekiga [-d level] [-c URL]
DESCRIPTION
Ekiga is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP
Telephony and Video Conferencing application which complies to the
SIP and H.323 protocols. It can connect to a variety of other SIP
and H323 applications including specific hardware. Ekiga can work
with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio
communications or traditionnal audio+video communications. Ekiga
was fomerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been designed for the
GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1)
for storing its userdata. It offers to configure almost every
option from within the GUI. Command-line options include -d
to turn on debugging during calls. -c to call another URL.
OPTIONS
- -d level
- turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1
and 4.
- -c URL
- Calls the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking
that option. SIP, H.323 and CALLTO URLs are supported.
FILES
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/
- The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1)
for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ
depending on your system's
configuration)
~/.gconf/apps/ekiga
- Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1)
for further details.
ENVIRONMENT
On startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf
schemas (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every modification of
the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is
reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
