70 All commands are case insensitive.
71 .SS Add \fI<eD2k-link>\fP | \fI<magnet-link>\fP
72 Adds an eD2k-link or a magnet-link to the core.
74 The eD2k link to be added can be:
77 a file link (ed2k://|file|...), it will be added to the download queue;
79 a server link (ed2k://|server|...), it will be added to the server list;
81 a serverlist link, in which case all servers in the list will be added to the server list.
84 The magnet link must contain the eD2k hash and file length.
85 .SS Cancel \fI<hash>\fP | \fI<number>\fP
86 Cancels the download specified by \fI<hash>\fR or \fI<number>\fR. To get the value use \fBshow\fR.
87 .SS Connect [ \fIkad\fP | \fIed2k\fP | \fI<ip|name>\fP ]
88 Connect to the network.
90 This will connect to all networks that are enabled in Preferences.
92 When giving ed2k as parameter, it connects only to eD2k-network, to servers in your
93 serverlist. You may also optionally specify a server address in IP:Port form, to
94 connect to that server only. The IP must be a dotted decimal IPv4 address, or a
97 When giving kad, it connects to Kad only.
98 .SS_untranslated Disconnect [ \fIed2k\fP | \fIkad\fP ]
99 Disconnect from all networks you are connected to, or just disconnect from the
101 .SS Download \fI<number>\fP
102 Start downloading a file.
104 The \fI<number>\fR of a file from the last search has to be given.
105 Example: `download 12' will start to download the file with the number 12 of the
107 .SS_untranslated Exit
108 Disconnect from amule/amuled and quit amulecmd.
110 Get and display a preference value.
112 Available values for \fI<what>\fR:
115 Get bandwidth limits.
117 Get IPFilter preferences.
119 .SS Help [ \fI<command>\fP ]
120 Prints a short usage description.
121 If called without parameter, it shows a list of available commands.
122 If called with \fI<command>\fR, it shows a short description of the given command.
123 .SS Pause \fI<hash>\fP | \fI<number>\fP
124 Pauses the download specified by \fI<hash>\fR or \fI<number>\fR. To get the value use \fBshow\fR.
125 .SS Priority \fI<priority>\fP \fI<hash>\fP | \fI<number>\fP
126 Set priority of a download specified by \fI<hash>\fR or \fI<number>\fR.
128 Available values for \fI<priority>\fR:
139 .SS_untranslated Progress

157 .SS Resume \fI<hash>\fP | \fI<number>\fP
158 Resumes the download specified by \fI<hash>\fR or \fI<number>\fR. To get the value use \fBshow\fR.
159 .SS Search \fI<type>\fP \fI<keyword>\fR
160 Makes a search for the given \fI<keyword>\fR. A search type and a keyword to search is mandatory to do this.
161 Example: `search kad amule' performs a kad search for `amule'.
163 Available search types:
166 Performs a global search.
168 Performs a search on the Kademlia network.
170 Performs a local search.
173 Sets a given preferences value.

182 .SS Show \fI<what>\fR
183 Shows upload/download queue, servers list or shared files list.
185 Available values for \fI<what>\fR:
196 .SS_untranslated Shutdown
197 Shutdown the remote running core (amule/amuled).
198 This will also shut down the text client, since it is unusable without a running core.
199 .SS Statistics [ \fI<number>\fP ]
200 Show statistics tree.
202 The optional \fI<number>\fR in the range of 0-255 can be passed as argument to this
203 command, which tells how many entries of the client version subtree should be
204 shown. Passing 0, or omitting it means `unlimited'.
206 Example: `statistics 5' will show only the top 5 versions for each client
208 .SS_untranslated Status
209 Show connection status, current up/download speeds, etc.
212 For all options which take a \fI<path>\fR value, if the \fIpath\fR contains no
213 directory part (i.e. just a plain filename), then it is considered to be under
214 the aMule configuration directory, \fI~/.aMule\fR.
216 The \fI<lang>\fR parameter for the \fB\-l\fR option has the following form: \fIlang\fR[\fB_\fILANG\fR][\fB.\fIencoding\fR][\fB@\fImodifier\fR]
217 where \fIlang\fR is the primary language, \fILANG\fR is a sublanguage/territory,
218 \fIencoding\fR is the character set to use and \fImodifier\fR
219 allows the user to select a specific instance of localization data within a
222 For example, the following strings are valid:
226 .RB_untranslated de_DE
228 .RB_untranslated de_DE.iso88591
230 .RB_untranslated de_DE@euro
232 .RB_untranslated de_DE.iso88591@euro
235 Though all the above strings are accepted as valid language definitions,
236 \fIencoding\fR and \fImodifier\fR are yet unused.
238 In addition to the format above, you can also specify full language names in
239 English - so \fB\-l german\fR is also valid and is equal to \fB\-l de_DE\fR.
241 When no locale is defined, either on command-line or in config file, system
242 default language will be used.
246 Typically amulecmd will be first run as:
248 \fBamulecmd\fR \fB\-h\fR \fIhostname\fR \fB\-p\fR \fIECport\fR \fB\-P\fR \fIECpassword\fR \fB\-w\fR
252 \fBamulecmd\fR \fB\-\-create-config-from\fR=\fI/home/username/.aMule/amule.conf\fR
254 These will save settings to \fI$HOME/.aMule/remote.conf\fR, and later you only need to type:
256 .B_untranslated amulecmd
258 Of course, you don't have to follow this example.
