✨ UDP2UDP(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section, we're doing a whole manual page together and it's gonna be iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

udp2udp — tunnel a RIST stream between two URIs via UDP

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

udp2udp [OPTIONS]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) is a transport protocol built for sending video reliably over networks that are, um, kind of a mess — including the Internet. Lossy networks. The whole vibe. It does this with low latency and high quality, no cap.

And udp2udp? It lets you tunnel a RIST stream between two URIs via UDP. That's literally its whole job and it ate. 💅

✨ Where OPTIONS are: ✨

  • -i, --inputurl udp://... — Mandatory, bestie!! This is your input udp URL. You literally cannot skip this one. 🙈
  • -o, --outputurl udp://... — also mandatory! This is a comma separated list of output udp URLs. Yes, a list. Comma separated. Multiple outputs. Slay. 💅
  • -v, --verbose-level value — controls how much it yaps. Wanna shut it up completely? -1. The log levels match syslog levels, so it's giving very structured, very official.
  • -r, --remote-logging IP:PORT — sends logs and stats to this IP:PORT using udp messages. Remote gossip, but make it infrastructure. 📡
  • -c, --config name.yaml — a YAML config file. YAML girlies rise. 🧚
  • -M, --enable-metrics — turn on OpenMetrics/Prometheus compatible metrics. 📊
  • --metrics-tags — extra tags to add onto the metrics. decorate your data, you deserve it. 🎀
  • --metrics-multipoint — makes the metrics return multiple timestamped data points. more data points = more main character energy.
  • --metrics-nocreated — skips the created metric for Prometheus compat. it's a compat thing, trust. ✨
  • --metrics-http — starts an HTTP Server to expose metrics on, and it defaults to http://0.0.0.0:9100/metrics. 👑
  • --metrics-port — the port for the metrics HTTP server to listen on.
  • --metrics-ip — the IP for the metrics HTTP server to listen on.
  • --metrics-unix — a Unix socket to expose metrics on. different socket, same drama. 🦋
  • -h, --help — shows this help. hi bestie, you're already here. 🫶
  • -u, --help-url — shows you all the possible url options. go off, explore, discover.

🌈 Default values: 🌈

  • --verbose-level 6

like, that's the default. it's just 6. don't overthink it. ⭐
