1.1 oskar 7: .SH NAME
8: repeatts \- repeater for ISO 13818 transport streams
9: .SH SYNOPSIS
1.3 oskar 10: repeatts [\fB-i\fR] [\fB-d delay\fR] [\fB-t time\fR] [\fIfilename\fR]
1.1 oskar 11: .SH DESCRIPTION
12: Take a regular file containing an ISO 13818-1 conforming transport stream
13: and send it periodically to \fIstdout\fR.
1.3 oskar 14: When a \fIfilename\fR is given, \fBdelay\fR or \fBtime\fR must
15: be given, too.
16: When no \fIfilename\fR is given, \fB-i\fR is obligatory.
17: The transport stream data from \fIfilename\fR is sent to \fIstdout\fR
18: within \fBtime\fR msec, evenly distributed, split up into
19: transport stream packets of 188 bytes each.
20: .P
21: The following options are accepted:
22: .TP
1.7 oskar 23: \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
1.3 oskar 24: Display this help.
25: .TP
1.7 oskar 26: \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
27: Output version information.
28: .TP
1.3 oskar 29: \fB\-i\fR
30: During operation, accept commands from stdin, in form of a tupel:
31: \fBdelay\fR, \fBtime\fR, \fIfilename\fR. Here, \fBdelay\fR may be
32: set to 0 to suppress repeatition, to -1 to quit the program.
1.1 oskar 33: When feeding another \fBdelay time filename\fR tuple to \fIstdin\fR,
34: the file currently processed will be replaced by the next file, as
35: soon as the current file is completely processed.
36: .TP
1.3 oskar 37: \fB\-d delay\fR
38: The requested operation shall be repeated every \fBdelay\fR msec.
39: When omitted, the data is sent only once.
1.1 oskar 40: .TP
1.3 oskar 41: \fB\-t time\fR
42: The transport stream data shall be sent evenly distributed within
43: \fBtime\fR msec.
44: The default value for \fBtime\fR is \fBdelay\fR.
45: \fBtime\fR must not be greater than \fBdelay\fR.
1.1 oskar 46: .SH EXAMPLE
47: To send file \fIexample.TS\fR every 5 seconds,
48: with the whole file sent within 2 seconds (and thus
49: thereafter 3 seconds of inactivity):
50: .IP
1.3 oskar 51: $ repeatts -d 5000 -t 2000 example.TS > some.pipe
1.1 oskar 52: .PP
53: .SH DETAILS
54: Whenever a tuple is given via \fIstdin\fR, this overrides any
55: tuple given to \fIstdin\fR earlier, that is not yet worked on, i.e. only
56: one tuple is memorized at a time.
57: .SH BUGS
58: to be detected.
