# makeosc
Simple NodeJS script for generating OSC bytes output to stdout.
## Usage
```
Usage: makeosc [options]
simple util to make osc buffers
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
--address <address> OSC address
--args <args...> osc args (default: [])
--slip slip encode message (default: false)
--types <types...> osc arg types (choices: "s", "i", "f", "b", default: [])
-h, --help display help for command
```
- using npx `npx makeosc@latest --address /hello`
- install using `npm install -g makeosc@latest` and run `makeosc --address /hello`
## Notes
- `--types` option is a space seperate list of type characters that will determine what the corresponding argument type will be set to
- optional
- uses type codes from the OSC spec
- `--args` option is a space-separated list of arguments. If a corresponding type is not found in the `--types` option it will default to string (`s`).
- blobs (`b`) are to be entered as hex string representing the buffer to be sent so the ASCII string `hello` would be `68656c6c6f`
- the default protocol is UDP but can be changed to TCP using the `--protocol` flag
## Examples
- `makeosc --address /test --args 1.0`
- `makeosc --address /this/is/sent/via/tcp`
- `makeosc --address /test/with/types --args 1 2.0 three --types i f`
- note that `types` is not the same length as `args` so the remaining argument (`three`) will default to string
- `makeosc --address /blob --args 68656c6c6f --types b`
