.SH NAME |
3 |
lscp \- the LinuxSampler Control Protocol (LSCP) shell |
4 |
.SH SYNOPSIS |
5 |
.B lscp |
6 |
[OPTIONS] |
7 |
.SH DESCRIPTION |
8 |
The LSCP shell allows to control a running instance of |
9 |
.BR linuxsampler (1) |
10 |
from the command line. By default, the LSCP shell will assume LinuxSampler to |
11 |
run on the local machine and accordingly will try to connect to LinuxSampler on |
12 |
the local machine. You can however also connect to LinuxSampler instances |
13 |
running on any another machine available on the network. Since LSCP is |
14 |
essentially just a human readable text protocol, you can also control the |
15 |
sampler simply by using |
16 |
.BR telnet (1) |
17 |
or |
18 |
.BR netcat (1), |
19 |
however since the LSCP shell is aware about the details of the LSCP protocol, |
20 |
it has various advantages, i.e. it provides colored highlighting of correct, |
21 |
incorrect and complete commands while typing them on the terminal. |
