# jack.dl(1)

JACK shared library dsp loader

## NAME

jack.dl - JACK shared library dsp loader

## SYNOPSIS

jack.dl \[options\]

## OPTIONS

**-c** : Set the number of input and output channels (default=8). **-g** : Set the number of graph slots (default=8). **-k** : Set the number of control buses (default=64). **-p** : Set the udp port number (default=57190).

## DESCRIPTION

jack.dl loads dsp algorithms from shared libraries. Commands are sent as OSC packets over a UDP connection. jack.dl allows data flow code generators to be used as interactively.

Clients load dsp graphs by sending a "graph load" packet:

```
/g_load index object-file
```

where index is an integer and object-file a file name.

jack.dl implements only a subset of the OSC protocol. In particular it does not implement the patten matching rules and does not implement a scheduler for incoming messages.

jack.dl drops all unrecognized incoming packets.
