Inputs and outputs can be network +streams (unicast and multicast), files, character devices or FIFOs. It is thought +to be a multicast equivalent of the popular netcat tool. + +Multicat tries to rebuild the internal clock of the input stream; but it wants +to remain agnostic of what is transported, so in case of files the said clock +is stored to an auxiliary file (example.aux accompanies example.ts) while +recording. Other inputs are considered "live", and the input clock is simply +derived from the reception time of the packets. +.SH ITEMS +Item format \fB<file path | device path | FIFO path | network host>\fR +.TP +Host format \fB[<connect addr>[:<connect port>]][@[<bind addr][:<bind port>]]\fR +.SH OPTIONS +.B \-a +Append to existing destination file (risky) +.TP +\fB\-d\fR <time> +Exit after a definite time (in 27 MHz units) +.TP +\fB\-i\fR <RT priority> +Real time priority +.TP +.B \-h +Show summary of options +.TP +\fB\-m\fR <payload size> +Size of the payload chunk, excluding optional RTP header (default 1316) +.TP +\fR\-n\fR <chunks> +Exit after playing N chunks of payload +.TP +\fB\-p\fR <PCR PID> +PCR PID +.TP +\fB\-s\fR <chunks> +Skip the first N chunks of payload +.TP +\fB\-S\fR <SSRC IP> +Overwrite or create RTP SSRC +.TP +\fB\-t\fR <ttl> +TTL of the packets send by multicat +.TP +.B \-u +Source has no RTP header +.TP +.B \-U +Destination has no RTP header +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR aggregartp (1), +.BR desaggregartp (1). +.BR ingests (1). +.BR offsets (1). +.br +Read the README file for more information about the configuration of multicat. +.SH AUTHOR +multicat was written by Christophe Massiot. +.SH LICENCE +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of +version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. +.PP +This manual page was written by Rémi Duraffort <ivoire at videolan dot org>, +for the Debian project (and may be used by others). |
