Right now, they are currently unused. Extensions, and Parsee itself
will be able to use those, though.

.SH NAME
parsee - the jealous XMPP-Matrix bridge
.SH SYNOPSIS
parsee
.B [-J num]
.B [-H num]
.B [-C file]
.B [-g]
.B [-v]
.B [-h]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Parsee is a
.B bridging program
, that is, it connects two chat protocols together (here, XMPP/Jabber,
and Matrix).
.PP
As such, a user on XMPP can communicate with Matrix users, and
vice-versa with it.
.PP
Currently, Parsee is under
.BI alpha .
This means that it is still subject to bugs, flaws, and may change in a
backwards-incompatible manner at any time.
.SH FIRST RUN
To start with a new install of Parsee(assuming you have a homeserver
with AS support and a XMPP server with JCP support, and that you know
the shared secret/domain for that component. Guides for that are
outside the scope of this manpage.), start by running
.B parsee-config(1)
with the flags provided in it, according to your configuration.
.PP
This should generate a
.I parsee.json
file, which is the configuration files for Parsee, and a directory where
the Parsee database may reside. You can then run
.I parsee -g
in that directory, which should generate a
.I parsee.yaml
file, this time with the generated AS configuration file, which you can
apply to your homeserver(how is implementation-dependent, but it is
generally a matter of modifying a configuration file to add the path
to such file).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR -J num
Set the number of threads used for XMPP stanza processing to
.I num\[char46]
.TP
.BR -H num
Set the number of threads used for HTTP request processing to
.I num\[char46]
.TP
.BR -C file
Sets the configuration JSON path to
.I file\[char46]
.PP
Defaults to
.I parsee.json
if none can be found.
.TP
.BR -g
Generates a
.I parsee.yaml
file to be used as an Application-Service entry within Matrix, and
exits.
.TP
.BR -v
Verbose logging of Parsee's behaviour. Recommended when testing Parsee
for bugs/hints.
.TP
.BR -h
Prints the command list with descriptions.
.SH BUGS
.PP
Sometimes Parsee will not respond to ^C requests properly, which
causes a system administrator to have to invoke SIGKILL.
.PP
Parsee seems to grow slowly in memory usage when messages are bridged
which, in the long run, could cause a memory error. All of the memory is
tracked, however, which means that this isn't exactly a leak.
.PP
Some important features still aren't implemented yet(e.g being able to join
a MUC from XMPP)
.SH CHATROOMS
You may talk about Parsee on these rooms(on Matrix and XMPP):
