.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
receives a Blinkenlights Protocol data stream and redistributes it to multiple hosts
|
||
|
|
on request. Any host that wants to receive a copy of the stream has to send a
|
||
|
|
Blinkenlights Protocol Heartbeat Packet at least once a minute.
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
in return sends a copy of the data stream to the requesting host.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Support for
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is built into
|
||
|
|
.Xr blinkensim 1
|
||
|
|
to have the simulator receive a permanent stream from an unkown source via
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is similar to
|
||
|
|
.Xr bmultiplexer 1
|
||
|
|
but does redistribution on-demand instead of explicitly.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Ar hostname[:port]
|
||
|
|
specifies an upstream blinkenproxy to request the stream from.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Ar receive-port
|
||
|
|
is the port where
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
receives Blinkenlights Protocol data packets. If
|
||
|
|
.Ar receive-port
|
||
|
|
is omitted, the default port (2323) is used. Don't use this option if
|
||
|
|
you specified an upstream proxy already.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Ar heartbeat-port
|
||
|
|
is the port where
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
waits for new requests to arrive. If
|
||
|
|
.Ar heartbeat-port
|
||
|
|
is omitted, the default port (4242) is used.
|
||
|
|
