NAME

   distmp3host - daemon for distributed mp3-encoding across multiple hosts
   on a network

SYNOPSIS

   distmp3host

DESCRIPTION

   distmp3host is daemon  part  of  distmp3,  a  utility  for  distributed
   mp3-encoding across multiple hosts on a network.

   The daemon binds port 4600 on localhost and waits for connections.  The
   client connects to a remote host on port 4600 and a handshake occurs.

   If the handshake goes well the daemon creates two  named-pipes  (fifos)
   for the mp3-encoding program to use. It also forks one child as reading
   or writing from/to the fifos is a blocking system call.

   The daemon passes the recieved wav data to the output-fifo  (which  the
   mp3-encoding program reads its data from).

   The  daemon reads the encoded mp3-data from the input-fifo (the one the
   mp3-encoder write it's encoded mp3 to) and 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 to listen on.

   -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

   -w wavfifo
          The fifo used for writing the wavfile to so the encoder can read
          it.

   -m mp3fifo
          The fifo used by the encoder to write the mp3stream to.

   -e program $wavfifo $mp3fifo
          The program used for encoding the wavdata into mp3.

          $wavfifo will be replaced with what was specified with -w

          $mp3fifo will be replaced with what was specified with -m
