DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page documents briefly the pioneers-server-gtk command.
15
16       Pioneers is a computerized version of a well known strategy board game.
17       The goal of the game is to colonize an island.  The  players  play  the
18       first  colonists hence the name pioneers. It uses a client/server model
19       for networked play of between two and eight players.  This program pro‐
20       vides  a  GUI-configurable stand-alone server which you connect to from
21       pioneers itself.

ENVIRONMENT

29       The default settings of the server can be influenced with the following
30       three environment variables:

32       PIONEERS_METASERVER
33              The  hostname  of the metaserver when no metaserver is specified
34              in the user interface. (The settings file takes precedence)
35
36       PIONEERS_SERVER_NAME
37              The hostname of the server.  If it is not set, the  hostname  is
38              determined by hostname(1).  (The settings file takes precedence)
39
40       PIONEERS_DIR
41              The  path  to  the game definition files.  If it is not set, the
