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

- -loglevel level
- Log file level
