NAME
       telepathy-gabble - Telepathy connection manager for XMPP (Jabber)

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/libexec/telepathy-gabble

DESCRIPTION
       Gabble  implements the Telepathy D-Bus specification for XMPP (Jabber),
       allowing Telepathy clients like empathy(1) to connect to XMPP accounts,
       including Google Talk.

       It is a D-Bus service which runs on the session bus, and should usually
       be started automatically by D-Bus activation. However, it might be use-
       ful to start it manually for debugging.

OPTIONS
       There are no command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT
       GABBLE_LOGFILE=filename
              If  set,  debug  output will go to the given file rather than to
              stderr.  If + is prepended to the  filename  (e.g.   GABBLE_LOG-
              FILE=+gabble.log),  debug  output  will be appended to the file;
              otherwise, any existing file will be replaced.

       GABBLE_DEBUG=type
              May be set to "all" for full debug output,  or  various  undocu-
              mented  options  (which  may  change from release to release) to
              filter the output.

       WOCKY_DEBUG=type
              May be set to "all" for full debug output from  the  Wocky  XMPP
              library  used  by Gabble, or various undocumented options (which
              may change from release to release) to filter  the  output.  For
              general Gabble debugging, "net" is recommended.

       GABBLE_PLUGIN_DIR=directory
              If  set,  and  Gabble  was compiled with plugin support, plugins
              will be loaded from  directory  rather  than  from  the  default
              directory.
