The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl d Dump the raw list of available controls and exit. Useful as a debugging tool. .It Fl f Ar device Use this .Xr sndio 7 audio device. .It Fl i Display characteristics of requested controls instead of their values. .It Fl m Monitor and display audio controls changes. .It Fl n Suppress printing of the variable name. .It Fl q Suppress all printing when setting a variable. .It Fl v Enable verbose mode, a.k.a. multi-channel mode. By default controls affecting different channels of the same stream are disguised as a single mono control to hide details that are not essential. .El .Pp If no commands are specified all valid controls are displayed on .Em stdout . Unless .Fl d , .Fl m , .Fl n , or .Fl i are used, displayed lines are valid commands. The set of available controls depends on the audio device. .Pp Commands use the following two formats to display and change controls respectively: .Pp .Dl [group/]stream[channel].function .Dl [group/]stream[channel].function=value .Pp On the left-hand side are specified the control group (if any), the affected stream name, and the optional channel number. Examples of left-hand side terms: .Pp .Dl output.level .Dl output[0].level .Pp If the channel number (including the brackets) is omitted, the command is applied to all channels. .Pp Values are numbers between 0 and 1. Two-state controls (switches) take either 0 or 1 as value, typically corresponding to the .Em off and .Em on states respectively. .Pp If a decimal is prefixed by the plus (minus) sign then the given value is added to (subtracted from) the current value of the control. If .Qq \&! is used instead of a number, then the switch is toggled. .Sh EXAMPLES Increase the .Cm level control affecting all .Cm output channels by 10% of the maximum: .Pp .Dl $ sndioctl output.level=+0.1 .Pp Mute all .Cm output channels: .Pp .Dl $ sndioctl output.mute=1 .Pp Toggle the above .Cm mute control: .Pp .Dl $ sndioctl output.mute=! .Pp Allow audio recording and set all .Cm input channels to 50%: .Bd -literal -offset indent # sysctl kern.audio.record=1 $ sndioctl input.mute=0 input.level=0.5 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sioctl_open 3
