NAME

hack − replacement for rogue

SYNOPSIS

hack [ −d hackdir ]  [ −s all | player ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

hack is a display-oriented dungeons & dragons type game.  Both display and command structure resemble rogue, although hack has twice as many monster types and requires three times as much memory. 

Normally hack looks in /usr/games/lib/hackdir for the files listed below; this directory can be changed with the −d option.  The −s option permits you to search the player record.  Given the keyword all, hack lists all players; given the login name of a player, it lists all scores of that player.
