.SH NAME
darxite - daemon that downloads files via FTP/HTTP in the background.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B darxite [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Darxite
is a daemon that can download a batch of files via FTP or HTTP in the
background. It can be controlled by "client" programs that provide a user
interface; client programs in the current release include nice GTK and
command-line FTP clients, a GNOME Panel applet and many more.
This man page is only concerned with the daemon's operation.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-v/--version"
Shows the daemon's version and exits.
.IP "-h/--help"
Shows some usage information and exits.
.IP "-d/--directory=<dir>"
By default, the daemon looks for program files in the directory
"$HOME/.darxite". You can make it look elsewhere with this option.
.IP "-k/--kill"
Instead of running the daemon, this option will terminate a currently
running daemon, and warn if the daemon isn't running.
.IP "-l/--listen=<port>"
To allow remote clients to connect to the daemon, set the port the daemon
should listen on with this option. If you allow remote client connection,
you should also set a password with the "-p" option.
.IP "-o/--output=<dir>"
By default, files will be downloaded into the user's home directory. This
option specifies an alternative directory for them to be placed.
.IP "-p/--password=<pass>"
Clients that connect to the daemon from a remote host must use this
password. If it is not specified, it will be blank.
.IP "-q/--quiet"
If a copy of the daemon is already running, fail silently instead of
printing an error message. This is useful for running the daemon in scripts
etc.
.IP "-r/--reload"
Instead of running the daemon, this option will cause a currently running
daemon to reload its config files.
