okay so bestie, welcome to the System User's Manual: muroarstream page ✨ this is the one for muroarstream — and yes we're getting into it, no skipping, periodt 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

muroarstream — Simple RoarAudio client 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

muroarstream [OPTIONS]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so muroarstream is a simple client for the RoarAudio sound system 🌸 it's based on muRoar (that's libmuroar, iykyk) 💅

and here's the vibe check: it can only be used to send data to the server or get data from the server 📨 that's it. that's the whole gig. no control functionality is supported, bestie — none, zero, nada 🙈 so if you were hoping to control stuff, this is not the one.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help — displays a brief help 🫶 like, a little baby amount of help. still help tho.
• -f, --file FILE — sets the file to read from or write to 📁
• --server SERVER — sets the server to SERVER 🌐 the default is to auto detect the server (see below, we get into it 💖)
• -R, --rate RATE — sets the sample rate 🎵 this defaults to 44100Hz
• -C, --channels CHANS — sets the number of channels 🎧 this defaults to 2 channels (stereo) ✨ and you can also use the symbolic names "mono" and "stereo" as well as "default" 💅
• -B, --bits BITS — sets the number of bits per sample 🧚 the default is 16bit per sample
• -E, --codec CODEC — sets the codec to use 🎀 the default depends on used subsystem, okay so: for Waveform it uses Signed native PCM, for Light DMX512 and for MIDI MIDI. the following symbolic names can be used: default, pcm, pcm_s, pcm_u, ogg_vorbis, vorbis, alaw, mulaw, ulaw, dmx512, roardmx, midi 👑
• --play — use Playback mode (send data to the server) 📤 this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you're doing, main character behaviour honestly
• --monitor — use monitor mode (get a copy of the played data from the server) 👀
• --wave — use Waveform subsystem (default) 🌊
• --midi — use MIDI subsystem 🎹
• --light — use Light Control subsystem 💡

---

🌈 AUTO DETECTION 🌈

okay so the server will be auto located if no server name is given 🔍 first it will look for the environment variable $ROAR_SERVER 💖

and if this variable is non existing, libmuroar will do the auto location based on a list of possible server locations 📋 this list contains:

• the user's private socket address
• the global UNIX socket address
• an entry for localhost using TCP/IP
• the local default DECnet object address
• as well as an entry for the abstract UNIX namespace (+abstract) 🦋
