LISTING PORTS AND LINKS
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Specify one of -o, -i or -l to list the matching optional input and
|
|
output ports and their links.
|
|
|
|
-o | --output
|
|

|
|
|
|
-i | --input
|
|
List output ports
|
|
|
|
-l | --links
|
|
List links
|
|
|
|
-m | --monitor
|
|
Monitor links and ports. **pw-link** will not exit but monitor and
|
|
print new and destroyed ports or links.
|
|
|
|
-I | --id
|
|
List IDs. Also list the unique link and port ids.
|
|
|
|
-v | --verbose
|
|
Verbose port properties. Also list the port-object-path and the port-alias.
|
|
|
|
CONNECTING PORTS
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Without any list option (-i, -o or -l), the given ports will be linked.
|
|
Valid port specifications are:
|
|
|
|
*port-id*
|
|
As obtained with the -I option when listing ports.
|
|
|
|
*node-name:port-name*
|
|
As obtained when listing ports.
|
|
|
|
*port-object-path*
|
|
As obtained from the first alternative name for the port when listing
|
|
them with the -v option.
|
|
|
|
*port-alias*
|
|
As obtained from the second alternative name for the ports when listing
|
|
them with the -v option.
|
|
|
|
Extra options when linking can be given:
|
|
|
|
-L | --linger
|
|
Linger. Will create a link that exists after **pw-link** is destroyed.
|
|
This is the default behaviour, unless the -m option is given.
|
|
|
|
-P | --passive
|
|
Passive link. A passive link will keep both nodes it links inactive
|
|
unless another non-passive link is activating the nodes. You can use this
|
|
to link a sink to a filter and have them both suspended when nothing else
|
|
is linked to either of them.
|
|
|
|
-p | --props=PROPS
|
|
Properties as JSON object. Give extra properties when creaing the link.
|
|
|
|
DISCONNECTING PORTS
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
When the -d option is given, an existing link between port is destroyed.
|
|
|
|
To disconnect port, a single *link-id*, as obtained when listing links with
|
|
the -I option, or two port specifications can be given. See the connecting
|
|
ports section for valid port specifications.
|
|
|
|
-d | --disconnect
|
|
Disconnect ports
|
|
|
|
