✨ NAME ✨

jkmeter — Jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph audio level meter for Jack Audio Connection Kit 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

jkmeter [options]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the jkmeter. Lowkey a quick little intro, not the whole novel. 📖

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Yeah. Nobody wrote one. So Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" and here we are. 😭

jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph level meter based on the ideas of mastering guru Bob Katz. <http://www.digido.com/bob-katz/index.php> Like, the actual Bob Katz. The way that this meter is literally built on a legend's whole philosophy? Obsessed. 🫶

This meter displays both the true RMS level and the digital peak level. Two numbers, one meter, no cap. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h — Display short info. A lil snack of info, not the full meal. 🙈
  • -name <name> — Name to use as jack client. Give your client a name, give it main character energy. 👑
  • -s <server> — Jack server name. Which server are we vibing with today.
  • -g <geometry> — Window position. Where the window sits. Placement is everything, fr fr.
  • -type <type> — Meter type, k20 or k14 (k20). The default is k20, so if you don't pick, you get k20. 💖
  • -rate <rate> — Update rate (30). Defaults to 30. She refreshes herself thirty times a second, as she should. 🔥
