SYNOPSISpioneers-metaserver [options]
DESCRIPTION
Pioneers is an implementation of the popular, award-winning "Settlers
of Catan" board game. It uses a client/server model for networked
play. This program provides a piece of network infrastructure that
helps match pioneers clients to pioneers servers. Casual players of
pioneers probably do not need to run this program.
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
-d, --daemon
Run in daemon mode.
-P, --pidfile pidfile
Write the pid to pidfile (implies -d)
-r, --redirect location
Redirect to another metaserver running at location.
-s, --servername hostname
Use hostname as hostname when creating servers.
-p, --port-range from-to
Use ports in the range from-to (inclusive) to start servers.
When this range is not specified, the metaserver will not be
able to create new games.
--debug
Enable debug messages.
--syslog-debug

--version

ENVIRONMENT
The default settings of the metaserver can be influenced with the fol‐
lowing three environment variables:
PIONEERS_METASERVER
The hostname the metaserver will use when creating new games.
This should be a hostname that can be resolved by all clients
that will connect.
PIONEERS_SERVER_CONSOLE
The path (including the filename) to pioneers-server-console.
If it contains only a filename and no path or if it is not set,
the PATH variable in the environment is used to locate the pro‐
gram.
PIONEERS_DIR
The path to the game definition files. If it is not set, the
default installation path will be used.
FILES
/usr/share/games/pioneers/*.game
Game definitions
SIGNALS

for memory leaks)
