✨ SRT-TUNNEL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the srt-tunnel(1) girlies' manual page 💅 this is the General Commands Manual, section 1, and we're about to make tunnelling make sense. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

srt-tunnel — tunnel an SRT connection between two URIs 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

srt-tunnel < listen-uri > < call-uri >

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So. SRT Tunnel is a classic tunnelling application, like the blueprint of it. what it does is literally just pass the transmission from one endpoint over to another endpoint, and it does that in both directions. that's the whole gig. and it ate, honestly. 🔥

Tunnels can also be “chained” — meaning you can have more than one tunnel sitting on the way between the real peers. it's giving relay race, but make it networking ✨

This tunnel app can use both TCP and SRT as endpoint type, and the typically predicted use case is to hand over the transmission to SRT for a longer distance, while keeping TCP close to the caller and listener locations. like, TCP stays home where it's cozy and SRT does the long-haul 🚗💨

The srt-tunnel command line accepts two arguments, beside the options:

  • Listener: the URI at which this tunnel should await connections 👂
  • Caller: where this tunnel should connect when its Listener connected 📞
bestie, that's the whole flow: someone shows up at the Listener, and the tunnel immediately goes and calls the Caller. matchmaker behaviour fr fr 💘

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -ll, -loglevel — logging level, default:error. yes default is literally error, so she's quiet unless something's wrong 🙈
  • -lf, -logfa — logging Functional Area enabled. pick which functional area you want to hear from 💬
  • -c, -chunk — piece of data amount read at once, default=4096 bytes. that's the lil bite-size scoop she reads in one go 🍓
  • -v, -verbose — display transmission details. for when you simply must know everything she's doing 👀
  • -s, -skipflush — exit without waiting for data to complete. she's leaving, and she's not waiting around for the data to finish its lil journey 🏃♀️
