gnubg - play and analyse backgammon games

gnubg [options] [saved-game-file]

This manual page briefly documents gnubgc , the GNU Backgammon program.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; to access this information, type info gnubgc .

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
