% dtas-sinkedit(1) dtas user manual % # NAME dtas-sinkedit - edit the command and environment of a sink # SYNOPSYS dtas-sinkedit SINKNAME # DESCRIPTION dtas-sinkedit spawns an editor to allow editing of a sink as a YAML file. See dtas-player_protocol(7) for details on SINKARGS. On Linux machines with the sleepy_penguin RubyGem installed, inotify(7) is used to monitor the file for changes while the text exitor is running. Each time a user finishes saving a file, changes are committed immediately. This behavior may be disabled by using the -N or --no-watch command-line switch. # OPTIONS -N, \--no-watch : Disable inotify(7) support on Linux systems -n, \--dry-run : Only print commands which would be sent to dtas-player -V, \--verbose : Print out commands as they are sent to dtas-player # EXAMPLES To get a list of existing sink names $ dtas-ctl ls Invoking dtas-sinkedit will spawn your favorite text editor on a given SINKNAME: $ dtas-sinkedit SINKNAME If SINKNAME was not listed, it will be created (in an inactive state). Successfully exiting your text editor will send the changes to the running dtas-player. # ENVIRONMENT VISUAL / EDITOR - your favorite *nix text editor, defaults to 'vi' if unset. DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock # CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: \ Mailing list archives available at and \ No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. # COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2015 all contributors .\ License: GPL-3.0+ # SEE ALSO dtas-player(1), dtas-player_protocol(7), dtas-ctl(1)
