DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mpd-sima commands.

At start up default configuration is first overridden by user configuration in
mpd_sima.cfg (see the section called “FILES”) and finally command lines options are
honored. For instance you can override default MPD_HOST set in defaults (localhost) or in
your configuration file with -S my_mpd_server option. For default configuration see the
section called “CONFIGURATION”. See also environment variables special case for MPD host
and port in the section called “ENVIRONMENT”.

EXAMPLE

Launch as a system service (dæmon).
Here follows an example on how to launch mpd-sima as a service on your system, not attach
to regular user configuration/database.

mpd-sima --daemon --conf=/etc/mpd_sima.cfg --var-dir=/var/cache/mpd-sima/
--pid=/run/mpd-sima.pid --log=/var/log/mpd-sima.log

Launch in user land
Launching mpd-sima from/whithin your user account is easy, you can simply call mpd-sima
from your shell or one of the following command:

Background execution (dæmonise), log in the specified file, save pid:

mpd-sima --daemon --pid=$HOME/var/run/mpd-sima.pid --log=$HOME/var/log/mpd-sima.log

Foreground execution, connect my.mpd.server.org, log to std(out|err):

mpd-sima --host=my.mpd.server.org

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two
dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

-h, --help
Print help and exit.

--version
Print version and exit.

--daemon
Start as a daemon. Log redirected to /dev/null, usually setting --log and --pid
options in daemon mode are a good idea to monitor/stop the process.

-p pid_file, --pid=pid_file
Use the specific file pid_file to store pid to.
Default is not to store pid info.

-l log_file, --log=log_file
Use the specific file log_file to log messages to.
Default is to log to stdout/stderr.

-v log_level, --log-level=log_level
Verbosity in [debug,info,warning,error].
Default is to log info messages.

-c conf_file, --config=conf_file
Use the specific file conf_file to set up configuration instead of looking for the
default user configuration file.
Default is to look for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd_sima/mpd_sima.cfg.

CLI option overrides any equivalent mentioned in configuration file, ie. launching
mpd-sima with '--port' CLI option will ignore port setting in configuration file.

For more details on configuration file cf. mpd_sima.cfg(5), see also the section
called “FILES”.

--var-dir=var_directory
Use the specific path var_directory to look for (or create) var files (ie. database)
instead of looking at the default user data location.
Default is to look in $XDG_DATA_HOME/mpd_sima/. Concerning $XDG_DATA_HOME see also the
section called “FILES”

--generate-config
Generate a sample configuration file according to the current configuration. You can
put other options with this one to get them in the generated configuration.

-S mpd_host, --host=mpd_host

mpd_host can be an IP or a fully qualified domain name as long as your system can
resolve it. This overrides MPD_HOST environment variable.
