Please check the compile options for included features in the binary.

OSCam supports the following protocols:

•   newcamd with cascading/remote server ECM support

•   camd 3.3x TCP

•   camd camd 3.5x / 3.57x UDP with cascading/remote server ECM support, ECM and EMM support with size > 256 bytes

•   camd 3.78x TCP with cascading/remote server ECM support, ECM and EMM support with size > 256 bytes

•   CCcam with cascading/remote server ECM support, ECM and EMM support with size > 256 bytes

•   DVB API with multi tuner and PIP support

•   gbox with cascading/remote server ECM support

•   serial (HSIC, SSSP, BOMBA, DSR 9500)

•   radegast

OSCam works on the following platforms:

•   Linux (Tuxbox, ARM, MIPS, MIPSel, SH-4, PowerPC, ...)

•   Windows (based on cygwin1.dll)

•   Mac OS X

OPTIONS

-a|--crash-dump
    write oscam.crash on segfault (needs installed GDB and OSCam compiled with debug infos -ggdb)

-b|--daemon
    starts in background, writing oscam.version with starttime and version info in temporary directory

-B|--pidfile <filename>
    set PID file, overrides pidfile of oscam.conf, default:none

-c|--config-dir <directory>
    read configuration from <directory>, default:see CS_CONFDIR in globals.h, while starting OSCam prints warnings on invalid keywords, comment lines start with # character.

    Autodiscover of the following directories will be done:

    •   /etc/tuxbox/config

    •   /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam

    •   /config/oscam

    •   /usr/keys

    •   /var/etc

    •   /var/etc/oscam

    •   /var/keys

    •   /var/oscam

    •   /var/tuxbox/config

-d|--debug <level>
    debug level mask:

         0 = no debugging (default)
         2 = ATR parsing info, ECM dumps, CW dumps
         4 = traffic from/to the reader
         8 = traffic from/to the clients
        16 = traffic to the reader-device on IFD layer
        32 = traffic to the reader-device on I/O layer
        64 = EMM logging
       128 = DVBAPI logging
       256 = load balancing logging
       512 = cache exchange logging
      1024 = client ECM logging
      2048 = CSP logging
      4096 = CWC logging
     65535 = debug all

-g|--gcollect <mode>
    garbage collector debug mode, default:none:

       1 = immediate free
       2 = check for double frees

-h|--help
    usage

-I|--syslog-ident <ident>
    set syslog ident, default:oscam

-p|--pending-ecm <number>
    maximum number of pending ECM packets, default:32, maximum:255

-r|--restart <level>
    restart level:

       0 = disabled, restart request sets exit status to 99
       1 = restart activated, web interface can restart oscam (default)
       2 = like 1, but also restart on segmentation faults

-S|--show-sensitive
    do not filter sensitive info (card serial numbers) in the logs

-s|--capture-segfaults
    capture segmentation faults

-t|--temp-dir <directory>
    use <directory> for temporary data, default:temporary directory of OS

-u|--utf8
    enable output of web interface in UTF-8 charset

-V|--build-info
    show OSCam version info

-w|--wait <seconds>
    time waiting for system time to be set correctly

SIGNALS

SIGHUP
    reinit user db, readers, TIERs, services, clients and anti-cascading, for newcamd connections: after reloading the ident, please restart newcamd client

SIGUSR1
    shift debug level to next level (see debug level mask above)

SIGUSR2
    get reader SC info
