NAME
zvbid - VBI proxy daemon
SYNOPSIS
zvbid [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
zvbid is a proxy for VBI devices, i.e. it forwards one or more VBI data
streams to one or more connected clients and manages channel change
requests.
OPTIONS
-dev path
Path of a device from which to read data. This argument can be
given several times with different devices.
-buffers count
Number of buffers to allocate for capturing VBI raw data from
devices which support streaming (currently only video4linux,
rev. 2) A higher number of buffers can prevent data loss in
case of high latency. The downside is higher memory consumption
(typically 65kB per buffer.) Default count is 8, maximum is 32.
-nodetach

was started (e.g. so that you can stop it by pressing Control-C
keys). Intended for trouble shooting only.
-kill Terminates a proxy daemon running for the given device.
-debug level
Enables debug output: 0= off(default); 1= general messages; In
addition 2, 4, 8, ... can be added to enable debug output for
various categories.
-syslog level
Enables syslog output.
-loglevel level
