It connects to the sound 33 server and offers a simple live shell that can be used to enter 34 the commands also understood in the <file>default.pa</file> 35 configuration scripts.</p> 36 37 <p>To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command 38 inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!</p> 39 40 <p>If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be 41 passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.</p> 42 </description> 43 44 <options> 45 46 <option> 47 <p><opt>-h | --help</opt></p> 48 49 <optdesc><p>Show help.</p></optdesc> 50 </option> 51 52 <option> 53 <p><opt>--version</opt></p> 54 55 <optdesc><p>Show version information.</p></optdesc> 56 </option> 57 58 </options> 59 60 <section name="Authors"> 61 <p>The PulseAudio Developers <@PACKAGE_BUGREPORT@>; PulseAudio is available from <url href="@PACKAGE_URL@"/></p> 62 </section> 63 64 <section name="See also"> 65 <p> 66 <manref name="pulse-cli-syntax" section="5"/>, 67 <manref name="pulseaudio" section="1"/>, 68 <manref name="pactl" section="1"/>, 69 <manref name="default.pa" section="5"/> 70 </p> 71 </section> 72 73</manpage> 74
