NAME

6       zvbid - VBI proxy daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zvbid [ options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       zvbid is a proxy for VBI devices, i.e. it forwards one or more VBI data
13       streams to one or more connected clients  and  manages  channel  change
14       requests.
15

OPTIONS

17       -dev path
18              Path  of a device from which to read data.  This argument can be
19              given several times with different devices.
20
21       -buffers count
22              Number of buffers to allocate for capturing VBI  raw  data  from
23              devices  which  support  streaming  (currently only video4linux,
24              rev. 2)  A higher number of buffers can  prevent  data  loss  in
25              case  of high latency. The downside is higher memory consumption
26              (typically 65kB per buffer.)  Default count is 8, maximum is 32.
27
28       -nodetach
29              Daemon process remains connected to the terminal from  which  it
30              was  started (e.g. so that you can stop it by pressing Control-C
31              keys).  Intended for trouble shooting only.
32
33       -kill  Terminates a proxy daemon running for the given device.
34
35       -debug level
36              Enables debug output: 0= off(default); 1= general  messages;  In
37              addition  2,  4,  8, ... can be added to enable debug output for
38              various categories.
39
40       -syslog level
41              Enables syslog output.
42
43       -loglevel level
44              Log file level
45
46       -logfile path
47              Path to the log file.
48
49       -maxclients count
50              Max. number of clients which are allowed to  connect  simultane‐
51              ously.
