bnstat - Battle.net statisics client
bnstat [options] [servername
[serverport]]
bnstat is a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be
used to gather player statistics. It is also compatible with FSGS servers,
but has difficulty with real Battle.net servers.
If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed. If no
serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed. If no player is specified
on the command line, bnstat(1) will connect to the server and prompt
for one from stdin. All available statistics for the emulated client type
are formatted and displayed on stdout.
- -b
- Causes bnstat to emulate a Brood Wars client.
- --client
- Causes bnstat to emulate a specific client. The following client
tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN. There are short
options which may be used instead for the common clients.
- --bnetd
- Also attempt to gather bnetd(1) specific information.
- -d
- Causes bnstat to emulate a Diablo client.
- --fsgs
- Also attempt to gather FSGS specific information.
- -h --help --usage
- Print usage information and exit.
- -k --cdkey
- Causes bnstat to report an alternate key to the bnetd(1)
server.
- -o --owner
- Causes bnstat to report an alternate owner to the bnetd(1)
server.
- -p --player
- Gather statistics only for the specified player and then exit. This also
avoids using login and terminal functions allowing it to be used in shell
scripts.
- -s
- Causes bnstat to emulate a Starcraft client.
- -v --version
- Print its version number and exit.
- -w
- Causes bnstat to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.
The current version is available with the bnetd distribution

This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning
of the current line when the carriage return character (^M) is printed. It
also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left
that character printed after that will replace those already on the
screen.
The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings. The
following are assumed:
- ^H
- delete the character to the left of the cursor
- ^J
- accept current line
- ^M (return)
- accept current line
- ^T
- transpose the last two characters
- ^W
- delete word to the left of the cursor
- ^U
- delete the whole input line
- ^[ (escape)
- cancel the current input line
- ^? (delete)
- delete the character to the left of the cursor
