OPTIONS

--help: Print a help message and exit.

--runasuser: Start the SvxLink server as the specified user. The switch to the new user will happen after the log and pid files has been opened.
--logfile=log file: Specify a log file to put all output into. Both stdout and stderr will be redirected to the log file.
--pidfile=pid file: Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.
--config=configuration file: Specify which configuration file to use.

FILES

/etc/svxlink/svxlink.conf (or deprecated /etc/svxlink.conf): The system wide configuration file. See svxlink.conf(5) for further details.
~/.svxlink/svxlink.conf: Per user configuration file. See svxlink.conf(5) for further details.
/etc/svxlink/svxlink.d/*: Additional configuration files. Typically one configuration file per module.

ENVIRONMENT

ASYNC_AUDIO_NOTRIGGER: Set this environment variable to 1 if you get an error about ioctl: Broken pipe during startup of the SvxLink server when using OSS audio.
ASYNC_AUDIO_ALSA_ZEROFILL: Set this environment variable to 1 to make the Alsa audio code write zeros to the audio device when there is no audio to write available. This may be needed for some audio devices that take a long time to recover from an underflow condition.
HOME: Used to find the per user configuration file.
