NAME

       distmp3 - client for distributed mp3-encoding across multiple hosts on a network

SYNOPSIS

       distmp3 [-p port] [-s datasize] [-d debug] [-df debugfile] remotehost wav-file mp3-file

DESCRIPTION

       distmp3  is the client part of distmp3, a utility for distributed mp3-encoding across multiple hosts on a
       network.

       The client connects to a remote host on port 4600 and a handshake occurs.

       If the handshake goes well, the client will open the wav-file for reading and the mp3-file for writing.

       The client then starts sending raw data from the wav-file across the network to the daemon,  which  sends
       it back to the client who writes it down in a file.

       Default values are used if none specified, and those defaults are read from /etc/distmp3/distmp3.conf

OPTIONS

       -p port
              The port on remotehost to connect to.

       -s datasize
              The datachunksize to use when sending data to the distmp3host server.

       -d debug
              If 1 then debugmessages will be printed on stdout, else suppressed.

       -df debugfile
              If defined debugmessages will be printed to file debugfile

       remotehost
              The DNS hostname or IP address of the remote machine running distmp3host.

       wav-file
              The local WAV format file to be encoded on remotehost.

       mp3-file.
              The  desired  local  destination  for  the  finished  mp3 file. If this file already exists and is
              writable, it will be overwritten. If it is not writable, distmp3 will exit with an error.
