ezstream-file — script to stream files from the command line

       The ezstream-file script and this manual were written by Moritz Grimm.

ezstream 1.0.2                                  January 11, 2025                             EZSTREAM-FILE.SH(1)

       The  ezstream-file script uses an ezstream configuration file template to stream a list of files given on
       the command line, or via standard input.  In other words, filenames are written to a temporary  playlist,
       and a template-based configuration is generated to stream them.

       The  path  to a configuration template must be provided, either by using the -T command line argument, or
       the EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE environment variable.

       The configuration template must be a valid playlist configuration, and contain the follwing configuration
       statement inside the <media /> block:

             <filename>%FILENAME%</filename>

       If no input files are specified, the list of files to be streamed are read from standard input.

       Lastly, the EZSTREAM environment variable allows to specify an alternate ezstream binary.

   Commandlineparameters-h      Print a summary of available command line parameters with short descriptions and exit.

       -ppidfile
               (Passed to ezstream.)  Write the ezstream-file process ID (a single number) to pidfile.

       -q      (Passed to ezstream.)  Be more quiet.   Suppress  the  output  that  external  programs  send  to
               standard error.

       -r      (Passed  to  ezstream.)   Show  a  real-time  stream  status information line on standard output.
               Implies -q.

       -Tcfg_template
               Use the configuration in cfg_template,  overriding  the  default  set  in  the  EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE
               environment variable.

       -V      Print the ezstream-file version number and exit.

       -v      (Passed  to  ezstream.)   Produce  more  verbose  output  from ezstream.  Use twice for even more
               verbose output.
