# XFBBC

    XFBBC is a tool that allows to talk with LinFBB deamon.

    Main features are:

    - remote connection to the xfbbd console
    - remote display of the trafic
    - remote display of the monitoring

    The command line is:

    xfbbC [-c | -m channel] [-h hostname] [-p port] [-i mycall] [-w password]

    without parameter, xfbbC defaults to "xfbbC -m 0"

    Command line options:

    -c : console connection. In this case, a callsign and a password must be
         provided. To provide them, you can use either command line options or
         environment variables.

    -m channel : monitoring request.
        channel may be
          * 0  : traffic activity of all channels is displayed.
          * n  : traffic activity of the channel "n" is displayed
          * -1 : monitoring of all ports

    -h : hostname of xfbbd (default localhost)

    -p : socket port for the communication to xfbbd (default 1525)

    -i : callsign for the console connection

    -w : password for the console connection. The password must be the exact
         string corresponding to the callsign as defined in the passwd.sys file of
         xfbbd.
