EZSTREAM-FILE.SH(1)	     General Commands Manual	     EZSTREAM-FILE.SH(1)

NAME
     ezstream-file.sh -- script to stream files from the command line

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

DESCRIPTION
     The ezstream-file.sh 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  tem-
     plate-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 con-
     tain 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 de-
	     scriptions and exit.

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

     -q      (Passed to ezstream.)  Be more quiet.  Suppress the output that ex-
	     ternal 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.sh version number and exit.

     -v      (Passed to ezstream.)  Produce more verbose output  from  ezstream.
	     Use twice for even more verbose output.

FILES
     /usr/local/share/examples/ezstream  Directory containing example configura-
					 tion	files	for   various	uses  of
					 ezstream, as well as  example	playlist
					 and metadata scripts.
