# quvi-scan(1)

The dumbed-down embedded media URL scanner

## NAME

quvi-scan - The dumbed-down embedded media URL scanner

## SYNOPSIS

```
quvi scan [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This command scans the input URLs for embedded media URLs and prints them to the stdout. The support is determined by the current selection of [**libquvi-scripts**(7)](/libquvi-scripts/7.md).

## DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR

The command passes the contents of the specified URLs to the *scan* scripts of the [**libquvi-scripts**(7)](/libquvi-scripts/7.md) which will then search the contents for embedded media URLs.

By default, the command will print the found media URLs in the "rfc2483" format. The *--print-format* may be used to change this.

## SUPPORT

The support for the media hosts is determined by the current selection of [**libquvi-scripts**(7)](/libquvi-scripts/7.md).

## CONFIGURATION

See [**quvirc**(5)](/quvirc/5.md) for more information about the groups and the variables that quvi parses.

## INPUT

The command will read stdin by default. The input is expected to *contain* URLs. The command arguments are expected to be either URLs or file paths. If the input is read from either stdin or a file, the contents are read as RFC2483. The input may contain file URIs.

## OPTIONS

### Core

\-p, --print-format FORMAT (default: varies)

Specify the format in which the properties should be printed. The command uses a different default value for this, depending on the input URL. FORMAT may be one of the following values:

•

*enum*

•

*json* - available only if quvi was built with JsonGLib

•

*rfc2483*

•

*xml* - available only if quvi was built with libxml

**Note**\

The default value varies, see DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR.

```
config: core.print-format=<FORMAT>
```

\-b, --verbosity LEVEL (default: verbose)

Specify the verbosity level of the command. LEVEL may be:

•

*debug* - verbose + enable verbose output for libcurl (CURLOPT\_VERBOSE)

•

*verbose* - default

•

*quiet* - errors only

•

*mute* - nothing at all

config: core.verbosity=\<LEVEL\>

### HTTP

- \-c, --enable-cookies

  Have libcurl parse the received cookies and use them in the subsequent HTTP requests.

  config: http.enable-cookies=\<boolean\>

\-u, --user-agent USERAGENT (default: Mozilla/5.0)

Identify as USERAGENT to the HTTP server.

**Note**\

[**libquvi-scripts**(7)](/libquvi-scripts/7.md) may override this value

```
config: http.user-agent=<USERAGENT>
```

## EXAMPLES

• Scan and print the media URLs in XML:

```
$ quvi -p xml scan URL
```

• Scan URL and extract the media:

```
$ quvi scan URL | quvi get
```

## ENVIRONMENT

See [**quvi**(1)](/quvi/1.md)

## EXIT STATUS

Either EXIT\_SUCCESS or EXIT\_FAILURE. The actual value depends on the platform, on POSIX systems they are 0 (success) and 1 (failure).
