Command-line tools¶
Overview¶
Roc provides a set of command-line tools, the most important of which are roc-recv and roc-send.
The roc-send tool allows to grab an audio stream from a file or an audio device like a microphone or record the system output sound and send it to a remote receiver.
The roc-recv tool allows to receive audio streams from a single or multiple senders, mix all streams into one, and play on an audio device or write to an audio file.
Building and installing¶
See our Building page for details. In particular, the User cookbook page provides examples for popular distros.
After build, the tools can be found in the ./bin/<host> directory, for example ./bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. You can either use tools from this directory or install them into the system using “scons install” command described by the link above.
Running receiver¶
See roc-recv manual page for the full list of options and some examples.
Here is an example of starting the receiver that listens on all interfaces on two UDP ports 10001 (for source packets) and 10002 (for repair packets) and plays the received audio on the default audio device.

Running sender¶
See roc-send manual page for the full list of options and some examples.
Here is an example of starting the sender reads audio stream from a WAV file and sends it to the receiver on 127.0.0.1 (locahost) with two UDP ports 10001 (for source packets) and 10002 (for repair packets).
$ roc-send -vv -i file:./input.wav -s rtp+rs8m://127.0.0.1:10001 -r rs8m://127.0.0.1:10002 -c rtcp://127.0.0.1:10003
