# konverse(1)

a Jabber client for KDE

## NAME

konverse - a Jabber client for KDE

## SYNOPSIS

**konverse** \[ *generic-options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **konverse** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**Konverse** is a Jabber client for the K Desktop Environment.  It offers instant messaging and can converse with other Jabber, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Instant Messenger or Yahoo! Messenger clients.

**Jabber** is an XML-based, open-source system and protocol for real-time messaging and presence notification.  The first application of Jabber is an instant messaging (IM) system similar to AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Instant Messenger, or Yahoo! Messenger.  However, Jabber is also being applied in the realms of wireless communications, embedded systems, and Internet infrastructure.

## OPTIONS

For a full summary of options, run *konverse --help*.
