alevtd(1)						      General Commands Manual							 alevtd(1)

NAME

       alevtd - webserver for videotext pages

SYNOPSIS

       alevtd [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       alevtd  is http daemon which serves videotext pages as HTML.  Tune in some station with a utility like v4lctl or some TV application.  Then
       start it and point your browser to http://localhost:5654/

       Pages may be requested either in HTML format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/ or  http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html)  or  in  ASCII
       text format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt).  Subpage "00" can be used for pages without subpages.

OPTIONS

       -h     print a short help text and the default values for all options.

       -v dev set vbi device (default: /dev/vbi0).

       -d     enable debug output.

       -s     Write  a	start/stop notice and serious errors to the syslog.  Specify this option twice to get a verbose log (additional log events
	      like dropped connections).

       -t sec set network timeout to >sec< seconds.

       -c n   set the number of allowed parallel connections to >n<.  This is a per-thread limit.

       -p port
	      listen on port >port< for incoming connections.  Default 5654.

       -n hostname
	      set the hostname which the server should use (required for redirects).

       -i ip  bind to IP-address >ip<.

       -l log log all requests to the logfile >log< (common log format).  Using "-" as filename makes alevtd print the access log to stdout, which
	      is only useful together with the -F switch (see below).

       -L log same as above, but additional flush every line.  Useful if you want monitor the logfile with tail -f.

       -u user
	      set uid to >user< (after binding to the tcp port).  This option is allowed for root only.

       -g group
	      set gid to >group< (after binding to the tcp port).  This option is allowed for root only.

       -F     don't run as daemon.  alevtd will not fork into background, not detach from terminal and report errors to stderr.

       -r     poll tv frequency, clear vtx page cache if a frequency change was detected.

rootv(1)						      General Commands Manual							  rootv(1)

NAME

       rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension

SYNOPSIS

       rootv [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       rootv puts a video to some window.  By default it creates its own window, but you can also ask it to use the root window (thus the name) or
       any other window.  rootv needs the Xvideo extension.

       rootv itself provides no way to control video/audio/tuner.  You can use v4lctl to do this.

OPTIONS

       rootv knows a number of command line options to modify the behaviour.

       -help  Print a short description of all command line options.

       -verbose
	      Be verbose.  That will dump some debug messages to stderr.

       -root  Put the video onto the root window instead of creating a new window.

       -id <win>
	      Put the video into the window <win> instead of creating a new window.

       -station <st>
	      Tune station <st>.  This just calls v4lctl, which in turn will look up the station in your ~/.xawtv config file.

       -no-mute
	      Don't toggle mute.  By default rootv will unmute the TV card when it starts and mute it on exit.	It does  this  using  the  XV_MUTE
	      attribute (if available).

       -port <n>
	      Use Xvideo port <n>.  Try the -verbose switch if you want to know which ones are available.

       -bg    Fork into background.

       -wm    Print WindowMaker menu (set stations using v4lctl).
