NAME
       ncid-modules - NCID client output modules overview

DESCRIPTION
       NCID output modules are used to extend the functionality of the client.
       They are mostly simple shell scripts although there is one program for
       the TiVo that acts like a module.

       Module names are of the format: ncid-<name>.

       Modules are normally called by the client using the command line:
                  ncid --no-gui --program ncid-<name>

       The client can only call one module at a time, but multiple clients can
       each have a different output module.

       Each module may have a configuration file called ncid-<name>.conf>.
       The ncid-<name>.conf> also understands three line types:
              blank line:     ignored
              comment line:   begins with a '#' and is ignored
              shell variable: set to a value, for example: foo=bar

       The current modules distributed with NCID are:
              ncid-alert
              ncid-initmodem
              ncid-kpopup
              ncid-mythtv
              ncid-notify
              ncid-page
