# hublist(1)

Direct Connect Text Client

## NAME

dctc - Direct Connect Text Client

## SYNOPSIS

**hublist** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

hublist retrieves list of hubs (servers) available for Direct Connect. This program is mainly designed to be used by programs not by users because the list of hubs is fairly hard to read.

hublist supports both uncompressed list, like the standard DC hub list, and bzip2 compressed list.

## OPTIONS

- **--socks** *SocksProxyAddress* *SocksProxyPort* *\[userID\]*

- **--proxy** *ProxyHost* *ProxyPort*

  Set a HTTP proxy to use.

## Shell Variables

- **HUBLIST**

  if this variable is not defined, **hublist** will try to download the  standard Direct Connect hub list. Using this variable, you also can define a set of alternate lists. Each list is described by an URL. If you have more than one list to define, use *\<tab\>* as separator. *Note:* if you want to use the standard DC hub list when the variable is defined, you must explicitly set its source URL.
