# telggz(1)

GGZ Telnet Wrapper

## NAME

telggz - GGZ Telnet Wrapper

## DESCRIPTION

This is a very simple line-orientated core client for the GGZ Gaming Zone. It can be used remotely over telnet/netcat connections, which makes it possible to chat in GGZ rooms from everywhere in the world. Just connect to port 15688 on a GGZ server, such as *live.ggzgamingzone.org*. Playing games is not possible with **telggz**, it merely resembles a basic chat program such as **[chat(1)](/chat/1.md)**.

TelGGZ doesn't support any command line argument, instead it is supposed to be run via inetd or xinetd. Please see the accompaigning documentation for invocation examples.

## COMMANDS

At first, a server must be selected, and a guest login is performed using a user name which is not registered yet. A list of possible commands can then be obtain with the */help* command. For example, */join \<id\>* joins another room, and */who* lists all the people in the current room. All input starting with a slash (/) is considered to be a command, while all other input is sent as a chat message. It is recommended to press the Return key before writing a long message to prevent the message to be overwritten by others.
