NAME
       auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter

SYNOPSIS
       auscope [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       auscope	is  an audio protocol filter that can be used to view the net‐
       work 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  running 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 output detail.

EXAMPLES
       In  the	following  example, mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine
       running 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  net‐
       work  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
