# recordctl

by Morgan Aldridge 

## OVERVIEW

An overly-complex, but very convenient, utility for [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org/) which provides a simple interface for enabling/disabling/toggling audio and/or video recording in the kernel with sensible defaults.

It is intended to save keystrokes so that I only need to type `doas recordctl` instead of `doas sysctl kern.{audi,vide}o.record=1` to enable both audio & video recording. Another `doas recordctl` will disable both audio & video recording again without needing to type the whole of `doas sysctl kern.{audi,vide}o.record=0`.

## FEATURES

* Explicitly enable/disable either/both `kern.audio.record` & `kern.video.record`

* Toggle the state of either/both `kern.audio.record` & `kern.video.record`

* Defaults to toggling both audio/video recording states

## INSTALLATION

```

git clone [email protected]:morgant/recordctl.git

cd recordctl

doas make install

```

## USAGE

To toggle both audio/video recording states:

```

doas recordctl

```

To toggle just the audio recording state:

```

doas recordctl -ta

```

To explicitly disable just the video recording state:

```

doas recordctl -v 0

```
