roarshout(1)

📦 version 1.0~beta12, in ubuntu jammy

🎀 NAME 🎀

roarshout — bestie, this one streams your data straight to a streaming server 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

roarshout [OPTIONS]... [address [port [password [mountpoint]]]
ok so yes, the bracket at the end is missing in the original. Not a typo I made, not a typo I'm fixing. We respect the source material here 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, roarshout is the little tool that sends your data — think audio — over to streaming servers like icecast, and it does it using libshout. That's the whole vibe. ✨

And here's the cute part: the options and the command-line syntax are compatible with the ones used by oggfwd(1), so if you already know that one you're literally already fluent, no cap. 🫶

ngl the original page says "command lion syntax" and I am not touching that. That is a majestic beast and it lives here now. 🦁
