Overview

This manual page documents briefly the alevt commands.

alevt is a program to read teletext from analogue or DVB channels.

Options

-c <channel>

channel name (dvb only)

-ch -child <ppp.ss>

child window

-cs -charset <latin-1/2/koi8-r/iso8859-7>

character set -doublefont/-df Instructs alevt to use double sized fonts.

-h -help

print this page

-o <outfile>

path + file for all services (dvb only)

-p -parent <ppp.ss>

parent window

-s -sid <sid>

service id (dvb only)

-t -ttpid <ttpid>

teletext pid (dvb only)

-v -vbi <vbidev>

vbi device

Sequence: /dev/vbi; /dev/vbi0; /dev/video0; /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
Order is important! Each page number opens a new window

with the previously given geometry, device, and display.

ppp.ss stands for a page number and an optional

subpage number (example: 123.4).

The -child option requires a parent window. So it must

be preceded by a parent or another child window.
