-SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL
--------------------
-
-The -slave option switches on slave mode, in which MPlayer works as a backend
-for other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard events, MPlayer will read
-commands separated by a newline (\n) from stdin.
-
-To try slave mode out by hand, run
-
- mplayer -slave -quiet <movie>
-
-and type slave commands into the console window.
-
-You can also use a fifo file (named pipe):
-
- mkfifo </tmp/fifofile>
- mplayer -slave -input file=</tmp/fifofile> <movie>
-
-Most slave mode commands are equivalent to command line options, though not
-necessarily under the same name. Detailed descriptions can be found in the
-man page.
-
-NOTE: the following paragraph is mostly obsolete; tricky pause handling
-was required in old MPlayer versions where all commands unpaused by default.
-Now running commands does not require leaving pause state any more, and
-the prefixes described here should not be required in normal use.
-All commands can be prefixed with one of "pausing ", "pausing_keep ", or
-"pausing_toggle ". "pausing " tells MPlayer to pause as soon as possible
-after processing the command. "pausing_keep " tells MPlayer to do so only if
-it was already in paused mode. "pausing_toggle " tells MPlayer to do so
-only if it was not already in paused mode. Please note that "as soon as
-possible" can be before the command is fully executed.
-As a temporary hack, there is also the _experimental_ "pausing_keep_force "
-prefix, with which MPlayer will not exit the pause loop at all.
-Like this you can avoid the "frame stepping" effect of "pausing_keep "
-but most commands will either not work at all or behave in unexpected ways.
-For "set_mouse_pos" and "key_down_event", "pausing_keep_force" is the default
-since other values do not make much sense for them.
-
-
-Various tips and tricks (please help expand it!):
-
-- To ensure the user can't control MPlayer "behind your back" use
- something like -input nodefault-bindings -noconfig all
-
