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  traditional  audio+video
       communications. Ekiga was formerly 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.
