Start multimedia synchronization engine
mm-sync [-c config_file] [-D] [-F] [-m context_path] [-o option[,option2...]] [-s] [-S] [-v[v...]] [-V]
When this option isn't used, mm-sync uses the context path provided in the configuration file. If no such path is given in the configuration file or if no configuration file is provided, mm-sync uses the system default of /dev/mmsync.
The -v option is handy when you're trying to understand the operation of mm-sync, but when lots of -v arguments are used, the logging becomes quite significant and can change timing noticeably. The verbosity setting is good for systems under development but should probably not be used in production systems or when performance testing.
The mm-sync command line runs the multimedia synchronizer engine with various user-specified parameters. Through parameters, you can specify a control context path and configuration file to use, make the service run in the foreground, and configure many aspects of logging, including the verbosity level and the logging of statistics.
The mm-sync service runs as a server process and responds to synchronization commands issued from the mmsyncclient utility or API calls made from client applications.
