NAME


multicat - Multicast equivalent of Netcat

SYNOPSIS


multicat [-i <RT priority>] [-t <ttl>] [-p <PCR PID>] [-s <chunks>] [-n <chunks>] [-d
<time>] [-a] [-S <SSRC IP>] [-u] [-U] [-m <payload size>] <input item> <output item>

DESCRIPTION


Multicat is a 1 input/1 output application. Inputs and outputs can be network streams
(unicast and multicast), files, character devices or FIFOs. It is thought to be a
multicast equivalent of the popular netcat tool.

Multicat tries to rebuild the internal clock of the input stream; but it wants to remain
agnostic of what is transported, so in case of files the said clock is stored to an
auxiliary file (example.aux accompanies example.ts) while recording. Other inputs are
considered "live", and the input clock is simply derived from the reception time of the
packets.

ITEMS


Item format <file path | device path | FIFO path | network host>

Host format [<connect addr>[:<connect port>]][@[<bind addr][:<bind port>]]

OPTIONS


-a Append to existing destination file (risky)

-d <time>
Exit after a definite time (in 27 MHz units)

-i <RT priority>
Real time priority

-h Show summary of options

-m <payload size>
Size of the payload chunk, excluding optional RTP header (default 1316)

-n <chunks>
Exit after playing N chunks of payload

-p <PCR PID>
PCR PID

-s <chunks>
Skip the first N chunks of payload

-S <SSRC IP>
Overwrite or create RTP SSRC

-t <ttl>
TTL of the packets send by multicat

-u Source has no RTP header

-U Destination has no RTP header
