DESCRIPTION
fm is a program to control the frequency, volume, and mute/unmute state of an FM radio card, using the video4linux interface introduced in 2.1.x series Linux kernels.
OPTIONS
- -h
- Print a usage message to standard output, and exit.
- -o
- Ignore frequency range limits of card. Use if you suspect that the card supports a wider frequency range than its driver believes.
- -q
- Quiet mode. Keeps information on station and volume from being printed on standard output.
- -d device Sets device as the device to tune. The default is /dev/radio0.
- -t tuner Sets tuner as the tuner on the selected device to adjust. The default is tuner 0. Most radio devices have only a single tuner.
- freq
- Frequency to tune the radio to, in MHz. For instance, 88.9 specifies a frequency of 88.9 MHz. AM tuner values are also specified in MHz; for instance, 530 kHz would be specified as .530.
- on
- Turn the radio on (unmute).
- off
- Turn the radio off (mute).
- volume
- Specify the desired volume, in percent. Not all radio devices support volume control.
- +
- Increase the current volume.
- -
- Decrease the current volume.
FILES
- $HOME/.fmrc
- Optional configuration file used to set default volume and volume increments, in percents. Specify default volume with a line of the form VOL percent. Specify volume increments with a line of the form INCR percent.
If this file does not exist then the defaults are 12.5% volume and 10% volume increments.
