man zvbid (Commandes) - VBI proxy daemon

NAME

zvbid - VBI proxy daemon

SYNOPSIS

zvbid [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

zvbid is a proxy for VBI devices, i.e. it forwards one or more VBI data streams to one or more connected clients and manages channel change requests.

OPTIONS

-dev path
Path of a device from which to read data. This argument can be given several times with different devices.
-buffers count
Number of buffers to allocate for capturing VBI raw data from devices which support streaming (currently only video4linux, rev. 2) A higher number of buffers can prevent data loss in case of high latency. The downside is higher memory consumption (typically 65kB per buffer.) Default count is 8, maximum is 32.
-nodetach
Daemon process remains connected to the terminal from which it was started (e.g. so that you can stop it by pressing Control-C keys). Intended for trouble shooting only.
-kill
Terminates a proxy daemon running for the given device.
-debug level
Enables debug output: 0= off(default); 1= general messages; In addition 2, 4, 8, ... can be added to enable debug output for various categories.
-syslog level
Enables syslog output.
-loglevel level
Log file level
-logfile path
