NAME
zvbid - VBI proxy daemon
SYNOPSIS
zvbid [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
zvbid
is a proxy for VBI devices, i.e. it forwards one or more VBI data streams
to one or more connected clients and manages channel change requests.
OPTIONS
-dev path
Path of a device from which to read data. This argument can be given
several times with different devices.
-buffers count
Number of buffers to allocate for capturing VBI raw data from devices
which support streaming (currently only video4linux, rev. 2) A higher
number of buffers can prevent data loss in case of high latency. The
downside is higher memory consumption (typically 65kB per buffer.)
Default count is 8, maximum is 32.
-nodetach

(e.g. so that you can stop it by pressing Control-C keys). Intended for
trouble shooting only.
-kill
Terminates a proxy daemon running for the given device.
-debug level

In addition 2, 4, 8, ... can be added to enable debug output for
various categories.
-syslog level
Enables syslog output.
-loglevel level
