It was designed to be used by a 6frontend and thus it's output is easy to parse. 7 8 9Usage 10===== 11 simplemod [-k position] [-e host] [-r] filename 12 13If a position is specified with the -k switch, the module will be played 14starting at that position. 15 16If a host is specified with the -e switch, simplemod will use the esound driver 17and connect to that host. 18 19If the -r switch is specified, simplemod will write raw output to stdout. 20 21Parsing the output 22================== 23The output from simplemod starts with a static banner followed by a line that 24starts with 'Title: ' followed bu the title stored inside the module. 25 26During playback lines on the form 'P:<seconds>,<position> <some blanks>' 27are written to stderr and all ending with a carriage return. 28 29The field containing seconds is always 5 characters wide. 30 31Credits 32======= 33Lots of credits to the guys who wrote the mikmod library for making it 34incredibly easy to write this small program. 35 36Enjoy! 37 38Christian Laursen 39xi@borderworlds.dk 40
