# NAME
dtas-ctl - low-level client for dtas-player
# SYNOPSYS
dtas-ctl [ARGS...]
# DESCRIPTION
dtas-ctl passes command-line arguments as-is to dtas-player. It is mainly
useful for simple commands such as ("current", "play_pause", "pause", "play",
"rg RGARGS", "seek HH:MM:SS", "skip").
See dtas-player_protocol(7) for a detailed description of the protocol.
# EXAMPLES
display the currently playing track
$ dtas-ctl current
enqueue a file for playback (dtas-enq(1) is easier to use, here)
$ dtas-ctl enq /absolute/path/to/file
toggle the play/pause state of the player
$ dtas-ctl play_pause
change the ReplayGain mode
$ dtas-ctl rg mode=album_gain
# "track_gain", "off" may be used, too
seek 5 seconds forward
$ dtas-ctl seek +5
seek to an absolute position
$ dtas-ctl seek 1:00
skip to the next track
$ dtas-ctl skip
To play the output of an arbitrary command (note the quotes) and usage
of $SOXFMT (see dtas-player_protocol(7)).
$ dtas-ctl enq-cmd 'sox -n $SOXFMT - synth 3 pluck'
# ENVIRONMENT
DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket.
This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock
