## DESCRIPTION

Report on the program streams in a Transport Stream.  This command just dumps the initial PAT/PMT pairing.  If you want more info on the program streams within the transport stream then use [tsreport(1)](/tsreport/1.md).

- **-err stderr**

  Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)

- **-stdin**

  Input from standard input, instead of a file

- **-v**, **-verbose**

  Output extra information about packets

- **-m** *max\_scan*, **-max** *max\_scan*

  *max\_qscan* is the Number of TS packets to scan. Defaults to 10000.

- **-repeat** *PMT\_count*

  Look for *PMT\_count* PMT packets, and report on each

- *file*

  The transport stream file to get info on. If **-stdin** is specified then no *file* is expected
