.TH DIREWOLF 1
.SH NAME
direwolf \- Soundcard TNC for packet radio.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B direwolf
[ \fIoptions\fR ]
[ \- | \fBudp:\fR9999 ]
.P
The first audio channel can be streamed thru stdin or a UDP port. This is typically used with an SDR receiver.
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdirewolf\fR is a software "soundcard" modem/TNC and APRS encoder/decoder.
It can be used stand-alone to receive APRS messages, as a digipeater,
APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate).
It can also be used as a virtual TNC for other applications such as
APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir, APRS-TW, YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack,
RMS Express, and many others.

.SH EXAMPLES
gqrx (2.3 and later) has the ability to send streaming audio through a UDP socket to another application for further processing.
direwolf can listen over a UDP port with options like this:
.RS
.P
direwolf \-n 1 \-r 48000 \-b 16 udp:7355
.RE
.P
Other SDR applications might produce audio on stdout so it is convenient to pipe into the next application. In this example, the final "-" means read from stdin.
