NAME
       iceauth - ICE authority file utility

SYNOPSIS
       iceauth [ -f authfile ] [ -vqibuV ] [ command arg ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  iceauth  program is used to edit and display the authorization in-
       formation used in connecting with ICE.  This program is usually used to
       extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in on an-
       other (as is the case when using remote logins or  granting  access  to
       other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively,
       on the iceauth command line, or in scripts.

OPTIONS
       -f authfile  Name of the authority file to use. Will default to
                    the file currently in use by the session.

       -v           Turns on extra messages (verbose mode)

       -q           Turns off extra messages (quiet mode)

       -i           Ignore the locks on the authority file

       -b           Break the locks on the authority file

       -u           Print basic usage instructions

       -V           Print version and exit
