NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       ezstream-file [-hnqVv] [-T cfg_template] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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:

             <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.

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

       -n      (Passed to ezstream.)  Normalize metadata strings by removing excess whitespaces.

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

       -T cfg_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.
