distmp3(1)


NAME

   distmp3  - client for distributed mp3-encoding across multiple hosts on
   a network

SYNOPSIS

   distmp3 [-p port] [-s datasize] [-d debug] [-df  debugfile]  remotehost
   wav-file mp3-file

DESCRIPTION

   distmp3  is  the  client  part  of  distmp3,  a utility for distributed
   mp3-encoding across multiple hosts on a network.

   The client connects to a remote host  on  port  4600  and  a  handshake
   occurs.

   If  the  handshake  goes  well,  the  client will open the wav-file for
   reading and the mp3-file for writing.

   The client then starts sending raw data from the  wav-file  across  the
   network  to the daemon, which sends it back to the client who writes it
   down in a file.

   Default values are used if none specified, and those defaults are  read
   from /etc/distmp3/distmp3.conf

OPTIONS

   -p port
          The port on remotehost to connect to.

   -s datasize
          The  datachunksize  to  use when sending data to the distmp3host
          server.

   -d debug
          If  1  then  debugmessages  will  be  printed  on  stdout,  else
          suppressed.

   -df debugfile
          If defined debugmessages will be printed to file debugfile

   remotehost
          The  DNS  hostname  or  IP address of the remote machine running
          distmp3host.

   wav-file
          The local WAV format file to be encoded on remotehost.

   mp3-file.
          The desired local destination for the finished mp3 file. If this
          file  already exists and is writable, it will be overwritten. If
          it is not writable, distmp3 will exit with an error.
