DESCRIPTION

   tcmodinfo loads a supplied transcode(1) module and prints its
   parameters, or inquiry about default settings. It can also connect to
   transcode through a socket to do runtime configuration of transcode and
   its filters.  Anyway, this last feature may be moved to some other
   helper program in future releases.

OPTIONS

   -i name
          Specify the name of the module. Name is specified without the
          prefix (i.e., filter_)_ and without the suffix .so So if you
          want information about filter_smooth.so, just supply smooth

   -m path
          Look in Path instead of the compiled-in module path for a
          module.

   -t type
          Specify the Type of module to load. Default is filter modules.
          In current (1.1.0) release, tcmodinfo support 'filter', 'encode'
          and 'multiplex' module types. More types will be added in future
          releases, to cover all the transcode module range.

   -M parameter
          Print out the default setting of given parameter of a given (use
          -i/-t options too) module. If parameter isn't known, nothing
          will be print out.
          Caution: -M can't be used together with -C

   -C configuration string
          Request to configure the module using given configuration
          string.  Meaning of configuration string is of course module
          dependent, but format is always
          param1:key1=val1:param2:param3:key2=val2
          This option is used for debug purposes, you usually shouldn't
          need it.
          Caution: -C can't be used together with -M

   -s socket
          Connect to socket socket. You can use this socket to do runtime
          configuration of transcode. For all the boring details about the
          socket protocol have a look at /docs/filter-socket.txt.
          transcode has to be started with the --socket option to open the
          socket.

   -d verbosity
          Specify the verbosiness level to use, like transcode does.
          Default value is 1 (TC_INFO verbosiness).

   -p     Print the compiled-in module path and exit.

   -v     Print version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

   The command

   tcmodinfo -i smooth

   prints information about the smooth filter.

   tcmodinfo -i levels -t filter

   same as above for levels filter (-t filter it's the default)

   tcmodinfo -i raw -t multiplex

   same as above for raw multiplexor

   tcmodinfo -i xvid -t encode

   same as above for XviD encoder

   transcode --socket /tmp/tc-socket &
   echo help | tcmodinfo -s /tmp/tc-socket

   prints the socket help text and exits.

   tcmodinfo -s /tmp/tc-socket

   Will drop you into an interactive "shell" where you can talk to the
   socket.
