NAME
       snapserver - Snapcast server

SYNOPSIS
       snapserver [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       Snapcast	 is  a multiroom client-server audio player, where all clients
       are time	synchronized with the server to	play perfectly	synced	audio.
       It's not	a standalone player, but an extension that turns your existing
       audio player into a Sonos-like multiroom	solution.
       The server's audio input	is a named pipe	`/tmp/snapfifo`. All data that
       is fed into this	file will be send to the connected clients. One	of the
       most  generic  ways  to	use  Snapcast is in conjunction	with the music
       player daemon or	Mopidy,	which can be configured	to use a named pipe as
       audio output.

   Allowed options:
       -h, --help
	      Produce help message, use	-hh to show options from config	file

       -v, --version
	      Show version number

       -d, --daemon [=arg(=0)]
	      Daemonize	optional process priority [-20..19]

       -c, --config arg	(=/etc/snapserver.conf)
	      path to the configuration	file
