NAME
emp_hub - Empire multiplexer
SYNOPSIS
emp_hub [-persistent] [-debug] [-help] [-mirror] host port localport
DESCRIPTION
emp_hub allows multiple clients to simultaneously connect to a single Empire country. This allows you to use both a fast and a smart client simultaneously. It also permits multiple corulers to log in at once.

Hostname of the upstream server. | ||
|
port |
TCP/IP port number the empire server is running on. | ||
|
localport |
TCP/IP port number the emp_hub should listen to for incoming client connections. | ||
|
-mirror |
Copy commands and replies to all clients using new protocols. Currently only the lafe client is aware of these protocols, though most clients will ignore them. |

-debug |
Print lots of messages, including everything sent and received by a client. Useful when debugging either emp_hub , a client, or the server. |

BUGS
Due to the nature of the empire protocol, only one client may have input focus at one time. If a client pauses at a context sensitive prompt from the server, all other clients will be unable to send data.
