NAME

welle-cli - welle.io command line interface

SYNOPSIS

welle-cli [OPTION]
welle-cli -w <port> [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

welle-cli is welle.io’s command line interface.

OPTIONS

Tuning:

-c channel

Tune to <channel> (eg. 10B, 5A, LD...).

-p programme

Play <programme> with ALSA (text name of the radio: eg. GRIFF).

Dumping:

	-D		Dump FIC and all programmes to files (cannot be used with -C). This generates: dump.fic; <programme_name.msc> files; <programme_name.wav> files.
	-d		Dump programme to <programme_name.msc> file.

Web server mode:

-w port

Enable web server on port <port>.

-C number

Number of programmes to decode in a carousel (to be used with -w, cannot be used with -D). This is useful if your machine cannot decode all programmes simultaneously, but you still want to get an overview of the ensemble.

-P

Without the -P option, welle-cli will switch every 10 seconds. With the -P option, welle-cli will switch once DLS and a slide were decoded, staying at most 80 seconds on a given programme.

Backend and input options:

-f file

Read an IQ file <file> and play with ALSA IQ file format is u8, unless the file ends with FORMAT.iq

-u

Disable coarse corrector, for receivers who have a low frequency offset.

-g gain

Set input gain to <gain> or -1 for auto gain.

-F driver

Set input driver and arguments. Default: "auto". Valid drivers depending on compilation options at build time are: airspy, rtl_sdr, android_rtl_sdr, rtl_tcp, soapysdr. With "rtl_tcp", host IP and port can be specified as "rtl_tcp,<HOST_IP>:<PORT>".

-s args

SoapySDR Driver arguments.

-A antenna

Set input antenna to ANT (for SoapySDR input only).

-T

Disable TII decoding to reduce CPU usage.

Other options:

-t test_id

Run test <test_id>. To understand what the tests do, please see source code.

	-h		Display this help and exit.
	-v		Output version information and exit.
