                      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
                     23: \fB\-\-help\fR
                     24: Display this help.
                     25: .TP
                     26: \fB\-i\fR
                     27: During operation, accept commands from stdin, in form of a tupel:
                     28: \fBdelay\fR, \fBtime\fR, \fIfilename\fR. Here, \fBdelay\fR may be
                     29: set to 0 to suppress repeatition, to -1 to quit the program.
1.1       oskar      30: When feeding another \fBdelay time filename\fR tuple to \fIstdin\fR,
                     31: the file currently processed will be replaced by the next file, as
                     32: soon as the current file is completely processed.
                     33: .TP
1.3       oskar      34: \fB\-d delay\fR
                     35: The requested operation shall be repeated every \fBdelay\fR msec.
                     36: When omitted, the data is sent only once.
1.1       oskar      37: .TP
1.3       oskar      38: \fB\-t time\fR
                     39: The transport stream data shall be sent evenly distributed within
                     40: \fBtime\fR msec.
                     41: The default value for \fBtime\fR is \fBdelay\fR.
                     42: \fBtime\fR must not be greater than \fBdelay\fR.
1.1       oskar      43: .SH EXAMPLE
                     44: To send file \fIexample.TS\fR every 5 seconds,
                     45: with the whole file sent within 2 seconds (and thus
                     46: thereafter 3 seconds of inactivity):
                     47: .IP
1.3       oskar      48: $ repeatts -d 5000 -t 2000 example.TS > some.pipe

                     50: .SH DETAILS
                     51: Whenever a tuple is given via \fIstdin\fR, this overrides any
                     52: tuple given to \fIstdin\fR earlier, that is not yet worked on, i.e. only
                     53: one tuple is memorized at a time.
                     54: .SH BUGS
                     55: to be detected.
