DESCRIPTIONkaptain reads the given file and builds a user-friendly dialog accord‐
ing to the grammar rules found in it.
See info kaptain for a detailed overview.
OPTIONSkaptain accepts the following options:
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-V Run in verbose mode.
--version
Show version of program.
--test Run in test mode. This means that commands are not executed when
a button is pressed, only printed to the standard output.
-V, --verbose
Report more information on processing the input file. Internal
representation of the grammar and the dialog tree is also
printed. Use this flag if Kaptain does not work as expected.
-c <host:port>, --client <host:port>
Establish communication channel as a client connecting to a
server on <host> listening on <port>.
-s <port>, --server <port>
Listen to the specified <port> and accept the first connection.
This will be used as a communication channel.
-p <command>, --pipe <command>
Start the given command and communicate with it on its standard
input and output. Don't forget to quote <command> if it contains
spaces or other metacharacters used by the shell.
--stdio
Use standard input and output for communication. In this case
you must specify an input file, thus grammar script cannot be
read from the standard input when it is used as a communication
channel.
--no-input
Instructs Kaptain not to process messages received on the input
channel.
--no-output
If this flag is set, Kaptain will not send any messages on its
output channel.
