roarbidir(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the System User's Manual: roarbidir page, aka the lil tool that opens a bidirectional stream to RoarAudio's sound server. yes, bidirectional, she does both ways, she's versatile like that 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

roarbidir — opens a bidirectional stream to RoarAudio's sound server. that's the whole vibe. that's the job. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

roarbidir [OPTIONS]... [IN_FILE]

like. that's it. that's the summoning ritual. options, maybe a file, boom. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: roarbidir opens a bidirectional stream to RoarAudio's sound server. both directions. at the same time. she's giving main character energy fr fr 🔥

the data gets read from stdin, or from the file you hand her (IN_FILE), and then it's sent to stdout. that's the whole loop, no cap. in goes the audio, out comes the audio, the server is in the middle doing her thing 👑

no cap: if you don't pass a file, she's reading stdin. that's just how she rolls.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --server SERVER — sets the server hostname. tell her where the sound server lives, bestie 🫶
  • --rate RATE — sets the sample rate. her tempo. her bpm. iconic ✨
  • --bits BITS — sets the bits per sample. how chunky each lil sample is 💖
  • --chans CHANNELS — sets the number of channels. mono? stereo? surround?? you decide 🌈
  • --codec CODEC — sets the codec. pick your flavour, babe 🍓
  • --help — shows this help. if you're lost, she'll hold your hand 🥺
