+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Jamulus ,
+a low-latency audio client and server, enables musicians to perform real-time
+.Dq jam
+sessions over the internet.
+It is available across multiple platforms, so participants of any field
+can communicate without specialist setup requirements.
+This is not restricted to music, of course; other use
+.Pq perhaps conferencing?
+is also possible.
+.Pp
+One participant starts
+.Nm
+in Server mode, ideally on a dedicated server (virtual) machine;
+all participants start the (graphical) Client which transmits audio
+to the Server, receiving back a mixed stream.
+Use of a metronome is recommended.
+Clients should be connected using ethernet, not wireless, and use
+proper headphone and microphone connections, not Bluetooth.
+The Server should run on a low-latency system, ideally not a VM.
+.Pp
+Running
+.Nm
+without any extra options launches the full graphical Client.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl 6 | Fl \-enableipv6
+enable IPv6 support
+.It Fl c | Fl \-connect Ar address
+.Pq Client mode only
+connect to the given Server
+.Ar address

+.It Fl d | Fl \-discononquit
+.Pq Server mode only
+disconnect all Clients on quit
+.It Fl e | Fl \-directoryserver Ar hostname
+.Pq Server mode only
+Register the Server with the given Directory by setting the Directory Server Address to use to
+.Ar hostname ;
+see also
+.Fl o ;
+to be a Directory Server, use
+.Dq Li localhost
+.It Fl F | Fl \-fastupdate
+.Pq Server mode only
+use 64 samples frame size mode, which reduces latency if Clients connect with
+.Dq enable small network buffers
+turned on; requires a faster CPU to avoid dropouts and uses more bandwidth to
+connected Clients
+.It Fl \-jsonrpcsecretfile Ar file
+(Server mode only)
+Set the path to a text
+.Ar file
+containing an authentication string for obtaining access to the JSON-RPC API.
+This option is required when
+.Fl \-jsonrpcport
+is used.
+.It Fl \-jsonrpcport Ar port
+(Server mode only)
+Enables JSON-RPC API server to control the application, set the TCP
+.Ar port
+number.
+This API is
+.Em experimental
+and may change.
+It is only accessible from localhost.
+Please refer to the JSON-RPC API Documentation.
+.It Fl f | Fl \-listfilter Ar filter
+.Pq Directory mode only

+.Ar filter
+must consist of semicolon-separated IP addresses
+.It Fl h | Fl \&? | Fl \-help

+.It Fl i | Fl \-inifile Ar file
+.Pq Client and non-headless Server mode only
+override default initialisation file with
+.Ar file
+.It Fl j | Fl \-nojackconnect
+.Pq Client mode only
+do not automatically connect to JACK
+.It Fl L | Fl \-licence
+.Pq Server mode only
+require Clients to accept the agreement shown in the welcome message
+.Pq use Fl w No to set the text
+before they are allowed joining
+.It Fl l | Fl \-log Ar file
+.Pq Server mode only
+enable logging to
+.Ar file
+.It Fl M | Fl \-mutestream
+.Pq Client mode only
+start in muted state
+.It Fl m | Fl \-htmlstatus Ar file
+.Pq Server mode only
+write Server status and list of connected Clients, in HTML format, to
+.Ar file
+periodically
+.It Fl n | Fl \-nogui

+.It Fl o | Fl \-serverinfo Ar info
+.Pq Registered Servers only
+set Server location details, formatted as
+.Sm off

+.Sm on
+where
+.Ar locale
+is the numeric value of a
+.Li QLocale ;

+for a list
+.It Fl P | Fl \-delaypan
+.Pq Server mode only
+start with delay panning enabled
+.It Fl p | Fl \-port Ar number
+set the local UDP port to use to
+.Ar number
+.Pq default: 22124
+.It Fl Q | Fl \-qos Ar value
+set QoS
+.Ar value
+.Pq iptos byte

+.Pq default: 128
+.It Fl R | Fl \-recording Ar Directory
+.Pq Server mode only
+enable recording
+.Pq but see Fl \-norecord

+.It Fl s | Fl \-server

+.It Fl T | Fl \-multithreading
+.Pq Server mode only
+use multithreading to make better use of multi-core CPUs and
+support more Clients
+.It Fl t | Fl \-notranslation
+disable translations, use built-in English strings
+.It Fl u | Fl \-numchannels
+.Pq Server mode only
+set maximum number of channels
+.Pq and , therefore , users ;
+default is 10, maximum is 150
+.It Fl v | Fl \-version
+display version information and exit immediately
+.It Fl w | Fl \-welcomemessage Ar message
+.Pq Server mode only

+.Pq may contain HTML and inline CSS
+to users on connect
+.It Fl z | Fl \-startminimized
+.Pq Server mode only
+start with minimised window
+.It Fl \-centralserver Ar hostname
+.Pq Server mode only
+deprecated alias for
+.Fl \-directoryserver
+.It Fl \-clientname Ar name
+.Pq Client mode only
+set window title and JACK client name
+.It Fl \-ctrlmidich Ar MIDISetup
+.Pq Client mode only
+set MIDI controller channel to listen on, control number offset and
+consecutive CC numbers (channels); format:
+.Sm off
+.Xo
+.Ar channel
+.Op Li \&;f Ar off Li \&* Ar nchans
+.Op Li \&;p Ar off Li \&* Ar nchans
+.Op Li \&;s Ar off Li \&* Ar nchans
+.Op Li \&;m Ar off Li \&* Ar nchans
+.Xc
+.Sm on
+.Pp
+The first semicolon-separated element sets the MIDI channel
+.Nm
+listens on for control messages.
+The other elements specify the items to control by their
+first literal letter (f\ =\ volume fader, p\ =\ pan, m\ =\ mute,
+s\ =\ solo) directly followed by the offset (CC number) to start from,
+a literal asterisk, and the amount of consecutive CC numbers to assign.
+Fader strips in the mixer window are controlled in ascending order from
+left to right.
+.Nm
+does not provide feedback as to the current state of the Solo and Mute
+buttons so the controller must track and signal their state locally.
+.It Fl \-directoryfile Ar file
+.Pq Directory mode only
+remember registered Servers even if the Directory is restarted
+.It Fl \-mutemyown
+.Pq headless Client only
+mute my channel in my personal mix

+.Fl R
+.It Fl \-serverbindip Ar ip
+.Pq Server mode only
+configure Legacy IP address to bind to
+.It Fl \-serverpublicip Ar ip
+.Pq Server mode only
+configure public legacy IP address when both the Directory Server
+and the actual Server are situated behind the same NAT, so that
+Clients can connect
+.It Fl \-showallservers
+.Pq Client mode only
+show all registered Servers in the serverlist regardless whether a ping
+to the Server is possible or not
+.Pq debugging command
+.It Fl \-showanalyzerconsole
+.Pq Client mode only
+show analyser console to debug network buffer properties
+.Pq debugging command
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that the debugging commands are not intended for general use.
+.Pp
+.Nm Jamulus
+knows four modes of operation: Client mode and three kinds of Server
+.Pq Unregistered, Registered, Directory.
+A Unregistered Server is unlisted, Clients can only connect if given
+the address (IP address and port).
+A Registered Server will contact a Directory (whose address must be
+given at Server startup) and show up in that Server's list; Clients
+can retrieve a list of Registered Servers from the Directory Server.
+Several Registered Directories are operated by the Jamulus project;
+there is a Directory for each genre, which is how Registered Jamulus
+Servers are categorised into genres.
