# roardecnet(7)

Hints for DECnet users or RoarAudio

## NAME

roardecnet - Hints for DECnet users or RoarAudio

## SYNOPSIS

 roard -n \[OPTIONS...\] ...

 roarclient --server node:: \[OPTIONS...\] ...

## DESCRIPTION

This manpage lists some hints for use of RoarAudio over DECnet.

## BASICS

If DECnet support is compiled in, there is the option '**-n**' of [**roard**(1)](/roard/1.md). If you set it the daemon will listen via DECnet. You may use the option '**-b**' to set the object name. Nodenames given via '**-b**' are ignored. Example:\
  roard -n\
  roard -n -b ::myobject

If you use the default object local clients should find there way to the server. For remote clients or if you use a non default object it is needed to give a server address in a form listent below.

## SERVER ADDRESS

The server address for DECnet is in one of the following forms: **node::**, **node::object**, **::object**, **::**. This is the way to specify a DECnet connection to node **node**'s object **object**. Both may be omitted to use defaults. Default node name is local hosts node name. Examples:\
  mynode::               connect to **mynode**\
  ::roar                 connect to local object **roar**\
  yournode::yourroard    connect to **yournode**'s object **yourroard**\
  ::                     connect to default object on local node
