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‐

21       pioneers itself.

ENVIRONMENT

29       The default settings of the server can be influenced with the following
30       three environment variables:
31
32       PIONEERS_META_SERVER
33              The hostname of the meta-server when no meta-server 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
42              default installation path will be used.
