NAME
       vlc, qvlc, svlc, nvlc, rvlc, cvlc - the VLC media player

SYNOPSIS
       vlc [OPTIONS] [ITEMS]...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the VLC multimedia player and server.

OPTIONS
       VLC follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').	 For
       a precise description of options, please use "vlc --help".

       The complete list of VLC options depends on what plugins are installed because they automatically add
       their own options. Please use "vlc --longhelp --advanced" for a complete list of available options.

       *.mpg, *.vob, *.avi, *.mp3, *.ogg, *.opus
	      Various multimedia file formats

       dvd://[][@][#[][:[<chapter>][:<angle>]]]
	      DVD  device  (for instance dvd:///dev/dvd). The raw device is optional and must have been pre‐
	      pared beforehand.

       udp://[@[<multicast address>][:<local port>]]
