SYNOPSISjitsi [options] [uri-to-call]
DESCRIPTION
Jitsi is a VoIP, videoconferencing and instant messaging application
available in a variety of operating systems. It supports several proto‐
cols including SIP and SIMPLE, XMPP and Jingle, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR.
These protocols are used by major communication services/networks (Google
Talk, Facebook Chat, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ). Voice and video
calls can be done using SIP and XMPP, file transfers with XMPP, MSNP,
YMSG, and OSCAR, and instant messaging with SIP (no multi-user chats),
XMPP, MSNP, YMSG, and OSCAR.
The following options are available:
-c, --config= DIR
Use the directory DIR for the configuration files. The default
directory is $HOME/.jitsi
-d, --debug
Print debugging messages to stdout.
-h, --help
Print the current version, the list of available options, and
exit.
-m, --multiple
Allow more than one instance launch.
-6, --ipv6
Force use of IPv6 addresses where possible.
-4, --ipv4
Force use of IPv4 addresses only.
-v, --version
Print the current version and exit.
The optional uri-to-call parameter can be specified to start a call from
the command-line. If Jitsi is already running then the call is handled by
the running instance, except when it is explicitly told to allow multiple
instance launch.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Jitsi is an open source application mostly written in Java with some
parts (such as audio/video capture and rendering) written in native code.
Its GUI is based on the widget toolkit Swing. Its architecture is build
upon the OSGi framework, using the implementation provided by Apache
Felix.
A good resource about the internals of Jitsi can be found in the ‘Jitsi
Chapter’ of the ‘The Architecture of Open Source Applications’ book.
