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 con‐ nect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific hardware. Ekiga can work with or without a webcam, and is able to cre‐ ate pure audio communications or traditional audio+video communica‐ tions. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been
designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for stor‐ ing 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 fur‐ ther 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. DOCUMENTATION More documentation is available in the manual available through Ekiga's Help menu. There is also a FAQ at: http://www.ekiga.org GETTING HELP
