NAME

6       xbrlapi - X11 BrlAPI helper for Linux/Unix
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xbrlapi [option ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       xbrlapi  connects to a BrlAPI server in order to provide it with the ID
13       of the X11 window which currently  has  focus.   It  also  simulates  X
14       keysyms from braille key presses (else brltty would simulate them using
15       a qwerty keyboard). By default, it puts itself in the  background,  un‐
16       less option -n is given.
17

OPTIONS

19       Options are processed sequentially from left to right.  If an option is
