<h1>Simple Command Line Language</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><tt>polypaudio</tt> provides a simple command line language used by
 | 
						|
configuration scripts as well as the modules <tt>module-cli</tt>
 | 
						|
and <tt>module-cli-protocol-{unix,tcp}</tt>. Empty lines and lines
 | 
						|
beginning with a hashmark (<tt>#</tt>) are silently ignored. Several
 | 
						|
commands are supported:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Miscellaneous Commands</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>help</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show a quick help on the commands available.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>exit</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Terminate the daemon. If you want to terminate a CLI connection
 | 
						|
("log out") you might want to use <tt>C-d</tt>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Status Commands</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>modules</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show all currently loaded modules with their arguments.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>sinks/sources</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show all currently registered sinks (resp. sources).</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>clients</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show all currently active clients.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>sink_inputs/sink_outputs</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show all currently active inputs to sinks (resp. outputs of sources).</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>stat</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Show some simple statistics about the allocated memory blocks and
 | 
						|
the space used by them.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>info</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>A combination of all status commands described above. <tt>ls</tt>
 | 
						|
and <tt>list</tt> are synonyms for <tt>info</tt>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Module Management</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>load</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Load a module specified by its name and arguments. For most modules
 | 
						|
it is OK to be loaded more than once.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>unload</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Unload a module specified by its index in the module list as
 | 
						|
returned by <tt>modules</tt>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Configuration Commands</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>sink_volume</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Set the volume of the specified sink. You may specify the sink either
 | 
						|
by its index in the sink list or by its name. The volume should be an
 | 
						|
integer value greater or equal than 0 (= muted). Volume 256
 | 
						|
(<tt>0x100</tt>) is normal volume, values greater than this amplify
 | 
						|
the audio signal with clipping.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>sink_input_volume</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Set the volume of a sink input specified by its index the the sink
 | 
						|
input list. The same volume rules apply as with <tt>sink_volume</tt>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>sink_default/source_default</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Make a sink (resp. source) the default. You may specify the sink
 | 
						|
(resp. ssource) by its index in the sink (resp. source) list or by its
 | 
						|
name.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Killing clients/streams</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>kill_client</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Remove a client forcibly from the server. There is no protection that
 | 
						|
the client reconnects immediately.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>kill_sink_input/kill_source_output</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Remove a sink input (resp. source output) forcibly from the
 | 
						|
server. This will not remove the owning client or any other streams
 | 
						|
opened by the client from the server.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h2>Meta Commands</h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>In addition the the commands described above there a few meta
 | 
						|
directives supported by the command line interpreter:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>.include</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Executes the commands from the specified script file.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>.fail/.nofail</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>Enable (resp. disable) that following failing commands will cancel
 | 
						|
the execution of the current script file. This is a ignored when used
 | 
						|
on the interactive command line.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<h3><tt>.verbose/.noverbose</tt></h3>
 | 
						|
<p>Enable (resp. disable) extra verbosity.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
