✨ ESDMON(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to esdmon — it's section 1 of the manual, it's from the Enlightened Sound Daemon era, and it is genuinely so much simpler than its siblings. no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

esdmon — The Enlightened Sound Daemon 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's an EsounD monitor. that's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly. ✨

What actually happens: it opens the esd socket and duplicates the stream that's being sent to the sound device. so like, it's the friend who's silently screen-recording the aux cord. lowkey iconic. 👑

💅 USAGE 💅

esdmon [OPTIONS] [FILE]

🍓 Options 🍓

  • -s, --server=HOSTNAME — tells it which EsounD server to talk to. set your HOSTNAME, that's the whole vibe. 🌈
  • -b — the output file should be 8-bit. yes, we're going retro. 🎀
  • -m — the output file should be mono. one channel only, main character energy, no co-stars. 💀
  • -r RATE — set the output rate to RATE. you pick the number, she respects the number. ⭐

FILE is the file you want the output stream written to. and if you just... don't give her one? default is stdout, babes. it'll just pour straight out into your terminal. 🫶

side note fr fr: these flags are exactly as written above — no extra secret flags hiding in here, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

and that's the page!! 🦋 this one came to you from the 3rd Berkeley Distribution, version EsounD 0.2.41 — and yes, that's the whole footer, no date on this one, she's timeless like that. slay, bye bestie 💅✨
