Interfacing with the Linux Ecosystem: Command-Line Utilities
  
    Rivendell includes a number of command-line utilities. Some of these
    can be used to perform efficient "bulk" operations --e.g.
    import thousands of audio files in one command -- while others are
    useful in various aspects of system maintenance. This section provides
    a brief overview of the available utilities; full documentation for each
    is available via the Linux man page facility.
  
  
    rdclilogedit(1)
    
      rdclilogedit1 is a
      command-line interface (CLI) program that can be used to edit
      Rivendell logs. It is loosely modeled after the venerable
      ed1 command-line editor
      and so is particularly well suited for use in scripting
      environments.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 1 rdclilogedit.
    
  
  
    rdconvert(1)
    
      rdconvert1 is a command-line
      interface (CLI) program that can be used to convert an audio file
      into a different format.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 1 rdconvert.
    
  
  
    rddbcheck(8)
    
      rddbcheck8 is a
      command-line interface (CLI) program that can be used to check a
      Rivendell database for consistency and correct errors found.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 8 rddbcheck.
    
  
  
    rdexport(1)
    
      rdexport1 is a command-line
      interface (CLI) program that can be used to
      export audio material from the Rivendell Library. It is particularly
      useful in situations where a large number of audio files need to be
      exported in an automated fashion, and is capable of exporting
      thousands of files with a single command-line invocation.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 1 rdexport.
    
  
  
    rdimport(1)
    
      rdimport1 is a command-line
      interface (CLI) program that can be used to
      import audio material into the Rivendell Library. It is particularly
      useful in situations where a large number of audio files need to be
      imported in an automated fashion, and is capable of importing
      thousands of files with a single command-line invocation.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 1 rdimport.
    
  
  
    rdmarkerset(8)
    
      rdmarkerset8 is a
      command-line interface (CLI) program that can be used to set or
      alter audio cut markers in the Rivendell Radio Automation System.
      It is capable of altering multiple cuts in a single operation.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 8 rdmarkerset.
    
  
  
    rdrevert(8)
    
      rdrevert8 is a
      command-line interface (CLI) program that can be used to revert a
      Rivendell database to a previous schema version.
    
    
      Full documentation is available by doing
      man 8 rdrevert.
    
  
  
    rmlsend(1)
    
      rmlsend1 is a small
      utility that can be used to send RML commands to a
      local or remote Rivendell host. It can operate in two modes: GUI or
      a command line interface (CLI).
    
    
      If started with no arguments, RMLSend will come up in GUI mode.
