  SuperCollider.
 
SuperCollider has documentation in the HTML format available in the
  
supercollider-doc package.
OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below. There 
must be a -u and/or a -t
  option, or -N for nonrealtime.
  - -u <udp-port-number>
 
  - a port number (0‐65535)
 
  - -t <tcp-port-number>
 
  - a port number (0‐65535)
 
  - -c <number-of-control-bus-channels>
 
  - default 4096
 
  - -a <number-of-audio-bus-channels>
 
  - default 128
 
  - -i <number-of-input-bus-channels>
 
  - default 2
 
  - -o <number-of-output-bus-channels>
 
  - default 2
 
  - -z <block-size>
 
  - default 64
 
  - -Z <hardware-buffer-size>
 
  - default 0
 
  - -S <hardware-sample-rate>
 
  - default 0
 
  - -b <number-of-sample-buffers>
 
  - default 1024
 
  - -n <max-number-of-nodes>
 
  - default 1024
 
  - -d <max-number-of-synth-defs>
 
  - default 1024
 
  - -m <real-time-memory-size>
 
  - default 8192
 
  - -w <number-of-wire-buffers>
 
  - default 64
 
  - -r <number-of-random-seeds>
 
  - default 64
 
  - -D <load synthdefs? 1 or 0>
 
  - default 1
 
  - -R <publish to Rendezvous? 1 or 0>
 
  - default 1
 
  - -l <max-logins>
 
  - default 64
    
 
    maximum number of named return addresses stored
     
    also maximum number of tcp connections accepted 
  - -p <session-password>
 
  - When using TCP, the session password must be the first
      command sent. The default is no password. UDP ports never require
      passwords, so for security use TCP.
 
  - -N <cmd-filename> <input-filename>
    <output-filename> <sample-rate> <header-format>
    <sample-format>
 
  
  - -L
 
  - enable memory locking
 
  - -H <hardware-device-name>
 
  
  - -v <verbosity>
 
  - 0 is normal behaviour
    
 
    -1 suppresses informational messages
     
    -2 suppresses informational and many error messages 
  - -U <ugen-plugins-path>
 
  - a colon-separated list of paths
    
 
    If -U is specified, the standard paths are NOT searched for plugins. 
  - -P <restricted-path>
 
  - If specified, prevents file-accessing OSC commands from
      accessing files outside <restricted-path>.
 
TO QUIT¶
To quit, send a 'quit' command via UDP or TCP, or press ctrl-C.
