NAME

flixd - Flix encoding daemon

SYNOPSIS

flixd

[ -d ] [ -p port ] [ -i interface ] [ -r ] [ --max-sessions snct

] [ --authdir path ] [ --pidfile file ] [ --logfile file ] [ --loglevel

level ]

flixd [ -h ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION

flixd

is

an

rpc-based flix encoding server. As such, portmap MUST be

running for it to operate. The port and interface to listen on

can

be

specified

using

the

--port and --interface options. By default flixd

will allow the rpc service to bind to any available port and interface.

A port is usually specified to bypass the necessity for a connection to

portmap by a client.

By

default

flixd

will

allow

an

unlimited

(except

by

available

resources)

number

of encoding sessions. This behavior can be modified

by specifying the --max-sessions option with a count >0.

Any

sessions

that start an encode after the count is reached will be queued.

flixd

will

look for authentication files (flixengine.lic, provided by

On2 at the time of install) in the user’s home directory unless a

path

is specified with the --authdir option. The default install location is

$HOME/.on2.

flixd can be stopped by sending it the TERM

signal.

The

pid

can

be

stored for this purpose in a file by giving the --pidfile option.

By default, when running as a daemon, flixd will log using syslog(3). A

log file can be specified by using the --logfile option.

The amount of

logging can be adjusted using the --loglevel option.

-p,--port port

-i,--interface interface

option (default: any available)

-r,--reuseaddr

when used in conjunction with the --port option

--max-sessions snct
