piano(1) General Commands Manual piano(1) NAME piano -- Command interface to pianod(1). SYNOPSIS piano [-cdvgm] [-r] [-s] [-h host] [-p port] [-U username] [-P password] [command [Arguments ...]] DESCRIPTION piano issues commands to and retreives data from pianod(1), allowing shell scripts or interactive access without having to go through telnet(1) or nc(1). Options allow formatting data in various ways, either convenient for reading (interactive use) or in more raw forms (for further processing). If no command is given, retrieves the playback status (playing, paused, stopped, etc.) instead of issuing a command; status is indicated only by exit status unless -v is given. OPTIONS -c In output, include numeric status codes. -d Data only; in output, strip the field names. -v Verbose. Output status text instead of just returning a status code. Applies to checking status or playlist. -g Report diagnostic information (3xx messages). -m Multiple record format. Includes pianod's end-of-data message at the end of the output, which is extraneous for single records but useful when processing multiple records. -r Report remaining time in current track. Returned as a number of seconds, suitable for passing to sleep(1). -s Use a secure connection. -h host The host on which pianod is running. Defaults to local- host, or $PIANOD_HOST if set. -p port The port at which to connect to pianod. By default, con- nections are attempted at 4445. piano can connect to ei- ther the line or HTTP port. -U user The user to authenticate on the server. Not all commands require authentication; if neither this option or the cor- responding environment variable are indicated, then au- thentication is not performed. -P password The password to authenticate with. EXIT STATUS The exit statuses are: 0 Success, or the server is playing (including between tracks or stalled). 1 Command or query error, or the server is paused or stopped. 254 A transport mechanism cannot be found. 255 Server cannot be reached, did not respond, or otherwise did some- thing unexpected ENVIRONMENT PIANOD_HOST The pianod host to connect to.
