💖 alevt 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for alevt, a teletext browser for analogue and DVB channels. no cap. it's giving "i read the airwaves for fun". 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

alevt [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just you, your options, and the teletext. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, this manual page documents briefly the alevt commands — like, the quick tour, not the whole saga.

alevt is a program to read teletext from analogue or DVB channels. that's the whole thing, she's a reader, she's a browser, she's iconic. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c <channel> — channel name (dvb only)
  • -ch, -child <ppp.ss> — child window 🍼
  • -cs, -charset <latin-1/2/koi8-r/iso8859-7> — character set
    • -doublefont, -df — instructs alevt to use double sized fonts. 🔍
  • -h, -help — print this page
  • -o <outfile> — path + file for all services (dvb only)
  • -p, -parent <ppp.ss> — parent window
  • -s, -sid <sid> — service id (dvb only)
  • -t, -ttpid <ttpid> — teletext pid (dvb only)
  • -v, -vbi <vbidev> — vbi device

🫶 the device sequence 🫶

Sequence: /dev/vbi; /dev/vbi0; /dev/video0; /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0

Order is important! Each page number opens a new window with the previously given geometry, device, and display. ✨ like, she remembers what you told her last, so don't come at her out of order, fr fr.

🧚 about ppp.ss 🧚

ppp.ss stands for a page number and an optional subpage number (example: 123.4). cute little dotted situation, we love a structured queen. 📄

💀 the child window tea 💀

The -child option requires a parent window. So it must be preceded by a parent or another child window.

translation bestie: no parent, no child. the family tree has to exist BEFORE the baby shows up. 😭
