XBRLAPI(1) The BRLTTY Project XBRLAPI(1)NAME
xbrlapi - X11 BrlAPI helper for Linux/Unix
SYNOPSIS
xbrlapi [option ...]
DESCRIPTION
xbrlapi connects to a BrlAPI server in order to provide it with the ID of the X11 window which currently has focus. It also simulates X
keysyms from braille key presses (else brltty would simulate them using a qwerty keyboard).
OPTIONS
Options are processed sequentially from left to right. If an option is specified more than once, or in case of a conflict, the rightmost
specification takes precedence.
The following options are supported:
-b [host][:port] (--brlapi=)
The BrlAPI server to connect to.
-a string (--auth=)
The BrlAPI authorization/authentication string.
-d display (--display=)
The X display to connect to. If not specified, the content of the DISPLAY environment variable is used.
-q (--quiet)
Do not write any text to the braille device.
-h (--help)
Print a command line usage summary and then exit.
-H (--full-help)
Print a thorough command line usage summary and then exit.
SEE ALSO

brlapi_connectionSettings_t -
Settings structure for BrlAPI connection.
SYNOPSIS
#include <brlapi.h>
Data Fields
char * auth
char * host
Detailed Description
This structure holds every parameter needed to connect to BrlAPI: which file the authorization key can be found in and which computer to
connect to.
Examples:
brlapi_connectionSettings_t settings;
settings.auth='/etc/brlapi.key';
settings.host='foo';
libbrlapi will read authorization key from file /etc/brlapi.key and connect to the machine called 'foo', on the default TCP port.
settings.host='10.1.0.2';
lets directly enter an IP address instead of a machine name.
settings.host=':1';
lets libbrlapi connect to the local computer, on port BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1

Field Documentation
char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::auth
For security reasons, libbrlapi has to get authorized to connect to the BrlAPI server. This can be done via a secret key, for instance.
This is the path to the file which holds it; it will hence have to be readable by the application.
Setting NULL defaults it to local installation setup or to the content of the BRLAPI_AUTH environment variable, if it exists.
char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::host
This tells where the BrlAPI server resides: it might be listening on another computer, on any TCP port. It should look like 'foo:1', which
means TCP port number BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1 on computer called 'foo'.
Note:
Please check that resolving this name works before complaining
Settings NULL defaults it to localhost, using the local installation's default TCP port, or to the content of the BRLAPI_HOST environment
variable, if it exists.

I know nothing about Linux/Unix. The fact that it is Linux/Unix is what someone told me the server is. It has been set up with the work stations in my home and would connect to the internet (DSL) and work with the other stations. We now have an actual office that does not have DSL, but rather has...
