alevtd - webserver for videotext pages

alevtd [ options ]

alevtd is http daemon which serves videotext pages as HTML. Tune in some station with a utility like v4lctl or some TV application. Then start it and point your browser to http://localhost:5654/

Pages may be requested either in HTML format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/ or http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html) or in ASCII text format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt). Subpage "00" can be used for pages without subpages.

-v dev
set vbi device (default: /dev/vbi0).
-d

-s

-t sec
set network timeout to >sec< seconds.
