✨ kildclient — the manual page, but make it slay ✨

okay bestie, so this is page kildclient(6) from the KildClient Manual Pages 💖 and it's literally the glow-up your MUD life has been waiting for. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're going through it together 🍓

🦋 NAME 🦋

kildclient — a powerful MUD client with a built-in Perl interpreter ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kildclient [options]... [World]...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this manual page documents the KildClient program briefly. brief queen. we love a concise icon. 👑

KildClient is a MUD Client written with the GTK+ windowing toolkit 🎀. It supports many common features of other clients, such as:

  • triggers
  • gags
  • aliases
  • macros
  • timers
  • and much more ✨

But its main feature is the built-in Perl interpreter 💜. You can at any moment execute Perl statements and functions to do things much more powerful than simply sending text to the MUD. Perl statements can also be run, for example, as the action of a trigger, allowing you to do complex things. Some built-in functions of KildClient allow interaction with the world, such as sending commands to it. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🔥

You can specify the name of one or more saved Worlds in the command line, and this/these World(s) will be automatically opened. You can also specify a host name to connect to in the command line. By default, connection is made to port 4000. You can specify a different port by using hostname:port. While not recommended, you can also specify a username and password with the following syntax:

username:password@hostname:port

This host specification syntax can be prefixed with telnet:// and end with /, for example:

telnet://some.mud.com:4444/

If you do not specify any World, you are prompted for the MUD to connect to. You can enter the host and port directly, or you can select from a list of saved MUDs 🫶. Once connected, type commands in the separate entry box and press ENTER to send them to the MUD. You can edit the commands before sending, since they only get sent when ENTER is pressed. You can recall previous commands with the arrow keys, or by pressing the button to the right of the command entry box. main character energy fr fr 🌈
