Bugs
Unlike linphonec the Qt-based graphical linphone application does not use ~/.linphonerc by default
anymore, but uses ~/.config/linphone/linphonerc instead, and it is also the application that houses all
migration logic for configuration files, chat logs etc. If you have any existing configuration and/or
chat logs you should run the graphical linphone application to migrate it after every upgrade. Neither
will linphonec create a pristine configuration file for you if none exists yet -- it defers to the GUI
linphone application for this.
Description
Linphonec is the console version of originally Gnome internet phone linphone (http://www.linphone.org) .
Linphonec can be started without arguments. It doesn't need any config file to start correctly and will
create a default one at the first startup if the file does not exist. By default the path of the config
file is ~/.linphonerc . Most parameters (proxy, passwords) can be changed from the command line, for
some of them (path of sound rings), you'll need to edit the .linphonerc config file.
Once linphonec has started, linphonec wait for some commands and is ready to receive calls.
The most important commands are
call <sip url> : to call someone. A sip url is in the form sip:user@host
terminate : to terminate a call
answer : to accept an incoming call.
help : to display interactive help.
