INSTALLATION
This distribution uses GNU configure for portability and flexibility of installation. You must configure the program for your system before you can compile it using make:

$ ./configure
$ make

The program can then be installed (under /usr/local/bin by default) using "make install":

$ make install

The configure script accepts many arguments, some of which may even be useful. Using "./configure --prefix ..." you can specify a directory other than /usr/local to be used as an installation destination. Call "./configure --help" to get a list of arguments accepted by configure.

USAGE
The usage convention for the program is

$ samplicate [<option>...] [<destination>...]

Where each <option> can be one of

-d <level> to set the debugging level
-s <address> to set interface address on which to listen
  for incoming packets (default any)
-p <port> to set the UDP port on which to listen for
  incoming packets (default 2000)
-b <buflen> size of receive buffer (default 65536)
-c <configfile> specify a config file to read
-x <delay> to specify a transmission delay after each packet,
     in units of microseconds
-S  maintain (spoof) source addresses
-n  don't compute UDP checksum (only relevant with -S)
-f  fork program into background
-m <pidfile> write the process ID to a file
-4  IPv4 only
-6  IPv6 only
-h  to print a usage message and exit
-u <pdulen> size of max pdu on listened socket (default 65536)

and each <destination> should be specified as <addr>[/<port>[/<interval>[,ttl]]], where

<addr>  IP address of the receiver
<port>  port UDP number of the receiver (default 2000)
<freq>  number of received datagrams between successive
  copied datagrams for this receiver.
<ttl>  The TTL (IPv4) or hop-limit (IPv6) for
  outgoing datagrams.

Config file format:

a.b.c.d[/e.f.g.h]: receiver ...

where:

a.b.c.d     is the sender's IP address
e.f.g.h     is a mask to apply to the sender (default 255.255.255.255)
receiver    see above.

Receivers specified on the command line will get all packets, those specified in the config-file will get only packets with a matching source.
