       ·  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

       -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
