NAME
     auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter

SYNOPSIS
     auscope [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     auscope  is  an  audio protocol filter that can be used to view the network
     packets being sent between an audio application and an audio server.

     auscope is written in Perl, so you must have Perl installed on your machine
     in order to run auscope.  If your	Perl  executable  is  not  installed  as
     /usr/local/bin/perl, you should modify the first line of the auscope script
     to reflect the Perl executable's location.  Or, you can invoke auscope as

     perl auscope [ option ] ...

     assuming the Perl executable is in your path.

     To  operate, auscope must know the port on which it should listen for audio
     clients, the name of the desktop machine on which the audio server is  run-
     ning  and	the port to use to connect to the audio server.  Both the output
     port (server) and input port (client) are	automatically  biased  by  8000.
     The output port defaults to 0 and the input port defaults to 1.

ARGUMENTS
     -i<input-port>
	     Specify  the  port  that  auscope	will  use  to take requests from
	     clients.

     -o<output-port>
	     Determines the port that auscope will use to connect to  the  audio
	     server.

     -h<audio server name>
	     Determines  the  desktop machine name that auscope will use to find
	     the audio server.

     -v<print-level>
	     Determines the level of printing which auscope will  provide.   The
	     print-level can be 0 or 1.  The larger numbers provide greater out-
	     put detail.

EXAMPLES
     In  the  following example, mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine run-
     ning the audio server, which  is  connected  to  the  TCP/IP  network  host
     tcphost.  auscope uses the desktop machine with the -h command line option,
     will  listen  for	client	requests  on  port 8001 and connect to the audio
     server on port 8000.

     Ports (file descriptors) on the network host are used to read and write the
     audio protocol.  The audio client auplay will connect to the  audio  server
     via the TCP/IP network host tcphost and port 8001:

	    auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm

	    auplay -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 dial.snd

     In  the following example, the auscope verbosity is increased to 1, and the
     audio client autool will connect to the audio server via the  network  host
     tcphost, while displaying its graphical interface on another server labmcx:

	    auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm -v1

	    autool -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 -display labmcx:0.0
