+.SH NAME
+vdr - the Video Disk Recorder
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.\" The general command line
+.B vdr
+[options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B vdr
+implements a complete digital Set-Top-Box and Video Recorder.
+It can work with signals received from satellites (DVB-S) as
+well as cable (DVB-C) and terrestrial (DVB-T) signals.
+
+At least one DVB card is required to run \fBvdr\fR, but in order
+to watch one broadcast while recording another, or to start watching
+a recorded programme before the live broadcast has ended (\fBtime shifting\fR),
+two DVB cards are necessary. By default \fBvdr\fR can support up to four
+DVB cards. The primary DVB card (the one your tv set is connected to) has
+to be a "full featured" card, which means it must contain an MPEG decoder
+and provide audio and video signal outputs.
+
+\fBvdr\fR uses the On Screen Display of the DVB card to display its menus.
+It can be controlled by the PC keyboard, a home built "Remote Control Unit"
+(RCU) or the "Linux Infrared Remote Control" (LIRC).
+
+Remote access is possible via the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP),
+which can be accessed on port 2001, for instance by \fBtelnet\fR.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI -a\  cmd ,\ --audio= cmd
+Send Dolby Digital audio to stdin of command \fIcmd\fR.
+.TP
+.BI -c\  dir ,\ --config= dir
+Read config files from directory \fIdir\fR
+(default is to read them from the video directory).
+.TP
+.B -d, --daemon
+Run in daemon mode.
+.TP
+.BI -D\  num ,\ --device= num
+Use only the given DVB device (\fInum\fR = 0, 1, 2...).
+There may be several \fB-D\fR options (by default all DVB devices will be used).
+.TP
+.BI -E\  file ,\ --epgfile= file
+Write the EPG data into the given \fIfile\fR
+(default is \fI/video/epg.data\fR).
+Use \fB-E-\fR to disable this.
+If \fIfile\fR is a directory, the file \fIepg.data\fR
+will be created in that directory.
+.TP
+.B -h, --help
+Print a help message and exit.
+.TP
+.BI -l\  level ,\ --log= level
+Set logging to \fIlevel\fR.
+\fB0\fR\ =\ no logging, \fB1\fR\ =\ errors only,
+\fB2\fR\ =\ errors and info, \fB3\fR\ =\ errors, info and debug.
+The default logging level is \fB3\fR.
+.TP
+.B -m, --mute
+Mute audio of the primary DVB device at startup.
+.TP
+.BI -p\  port ,\ --port= port
+Use \fIport\fR for SVDRP. A value of \fB0\fR turns off SVDRP.
+The default SVDRP port is \fB2001\fR.
+You need to edit the file \fIsvdrphosts.conf\fR in order to enable
+access to the SVDRP port.
+.TP
+.BI -r\  cmd ,\ --record= cmd
+Call \fIcmd\fR before and after a recording.
+.TP
+.BI -s\  cmd ,\ --shutdown= cmd
+Call \fIcmd\fR to shutdown the computer.
+.TP
+.BI -t\  tty ,\ --terminal= tty
+Set the controlling terminal.
+.TP
+.BI -v\  dir ,\ --video= dir
+Use \fIdir\fR as video directory.
+The default is \fI/video\fR.
+.TP
+.BI -w\  sec ,\ --watchdog= sec
+Activate the watchdog timer with a timeout of \fIsec\fR seconds.
+A value of \fB0\fR (default) disables the watchdog.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.TP
+.B 0
+Successful program execution.
+.TP
+.B 1
+An error has been detected which requires the DVB driver and \fBvdr\fR
