DESCRIPTION

The program ggz-config is a central tool and part of the client libraries package of the GGZ Gaming Zone. It can be used for several purposes. Primarily it is used to maintain the ggz.modules configuration file by installing and removing game module information. This is done with the --install and --remove modes of operation.

Additionally, the program can query the installation settings of the GGZ client libraries to assist in configuring the build process of a client or game module.

OPTIONS

Query Mode Options

-c, --configdir

Output location of the GGZ client libraries configuration directory and exit. This value will usually be @ggzconfdir@ and is where the file ggz.modules is located.

-g, --gamedir

Output location of the executable game modules and exit. Game modules in this directory are all game clients which are not installed into a standard PATH directory, mostly because they only run when invoked by a GGZ core client. As a special module, the game client wrapper ggzwrap is installed into this place. The gamedir is usually @ggzexecmoddir@.

-d, --datadir

Output location of game module data directory and exit. This is where games look for their graphics and level data. This will likely resolve to @ggzdatadir@.

-p, --protocol

Query GGZ_CS_PROTO_VERSION - version of core protocol between the GGZ server and any GGZ core clients.

-h, --help

Output help information and exit.

-u, --usage

Print some ggz-config usage scenarios for quick reference.

-v, --version

Output version information and exit.

Install Mode Options

--install

Specifies that we are installing a game module description.

--modfile=FILENAME

Specifies the source module description file. FILENAME will often be named module.dsc, but this is merely a convention.

--force

Overwrite an existing module entry of the same name, author and version rather than returning an error.

-D, --destdir

Specifies that the $DESTDIR environment variable contains a directory to prepend to the path for the GGZ module configuration file (ggz.modules). The only known purpose for this is for creating binary packages of GGZ games.

Uninstall Mode Options

--remove

Specifies that we are removing a game module description.

--modfile=FILENAME

Specifies the source module description file.

FILES

@ggzconfdir@/ggz.modules

Game module registry for all GGZ Gaming Zone core clients.
