       KVIrc is a Visual Internet Relay Chat client based on the Qt library.

       It is intended to be an "user friendly" interface to the IRC protocol (see RFC1459) and its extensions.

KVIRC_LANG
               Language setting.  If not set KVIrc will check for $LANG

       LANG    Language setting.  If not set (or set to 'EN','POSIX' or 'C') KVIrc will use the default language
               (English).

       FILES$PREFIX/share/kvirc/VERSION/* Directory with the global KVIrc settings, modules etc...

              $HOME/.kvirc4.rc  .  This is the first file that KVIrc looks for.  If the -c commandline option is
              specified , the file passed as the option parameter is used instead of this one.  If the  file  is
              found  ,  KVIrc  reads  the  first  non-empty  line  and  treats it as the path to the KVIrcLocaldirectory.  If the file can not be found or the KVIrcLocaldirectory  is  not  existing  ,  KVIrc
              enters the setup mode and allows selecting a new KVIrcLocaldirectory.

              KVIrcLocaldirectory/* Directory with the local (per user) KVIrc settings.  Similar to the global
              one.

KVIrc accepts the following options:

       -h,--help
               Display a list of all commandline options and exit.

       -v,--version
               Output the version info.

       -c<file>
               Use  <file>  as  configuration  file  instead  of ~/.kvirc4.rc .  Defaults to $HOME/.kvirc4.rc if
               <file> doesn't exists

       -n<file>
               Use <file> as configuration file instead of ~/.kvirc4.rc .  Create <file> if it doesn't exist.

       -f      Force a new KVIrc session, even if there is already a running one.

       -e<commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the <commands> in that session, otherwise  startup
               normally  and  execute  <commands>.  <commands> must be a single shell token.  You can eventually
               use this switch more than once.

       -x<commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the  <commands>  in  that  session,  otherwise  do
               nothing  and  exit.  <commands> must be a single shell token.  You can eventually use this switch
               more than once.

       -r<commands>
               If a KVIrc session is already running, execute the <commands> in that session, otherwise start up
               normally (do not execute).  <commands> must be a single shell token.  You can eventually use this
               switch more than once.

       -m      If a KVIrc session is already running, show an informational popup dialog instead of  writing  to
               the console.  This is useful when starting KVIrc from a graphical taskbar button.

       [server]
               Connect to this server after startup.

       [port]  Use this port for connection.  This option requires also a server name.

       [ircurl]
               An URL in the following form:

                 irc[6]://<server>[:<port>][/<channel>[?<pass>]]

               For  each  URL  on the commandline create a new irc-context and attempt to connect to <server> on
               the specified <port>.  The optional <channel> is  joined  just  after  the  connection  has  been
               established.
