Commands

       The following commands may be used with auctl:

       help    This command prints a list of the commands that may be given.

       setdeviceidgain[=,+,-]percent
               With =, this command sets the gain on the device specified by id to the indicated percentage,  or
               alters  it  by  the  given number of percentage points if + or - is used.  If the id is a decimal
               number n, the nth device returned by the server (see auinfo) is used.  Otherwise, id should be  a
               hexidecimal number specifying the resource identifier of the desired device.

       setdeviceidlinemode=low
               This command sets the linemode of the device specified by id to the lower setting appropriate for
               microphones.

       setdeviceidlinemode=hi
               This  command  sets  the linemode of the device specified by id to the higher setting appropriate
               for CD players.

       listdeviceidgain
               This command lists the gain of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       listdeviceidlinemode
               This command lists the line mode of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       listdeviceid
               This command lists the gain and line mode of the specified device.

       quit, exit, or ^D
               Either of these commands or an end of file causes the program to exit.

Description

       The  auctl  program  can  be  used to control various audio server parameters.  It is typically used when
       connecting up new devices, or to set user preferences.  If no command is specified on the program command
       line, auctl reads commands from the standard output.  If the standard input and standard output are  both
       attached to a terminal, an interactive prompt is provided.

Environment Variables

       The following environment variables are used by auctl:

       AUDIOSERVER
               This specifies the name of default audio server to contact if no name is explicitly given on  the
               command line.

       DISPLAY This  specifies  the  name  of  an  X Window System display that should be assumed to also have a
               corresponding Network Audio System server.

Name

       auctl - control various audio server parameters

Options

       The following options may be used with auctl:

       -audioservername
               This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.

       -q      This  option  indicates  that  no  prompt should be given when reading commands from the standard
               input.
