# VolSV
Volume Setter V
#### What is it?
Volsv is a POSIX-compliant shell script I wrote in 2020, and have been modifying since. Presently, it supports:
- Increasing volume
- Decreasing volume
- Toggling the output mute
- Toggling the microphone mute
- Getting the volume
- Getting the mute state
- Getting both volume and mute state
in pipewire, pulseaudio, sndio, and alsa. Once I get FreeBSD up and running, I will add those sound options too.
It depends on:
- pactl (pulseaudio/pipewire)
- amixer (alsa)
- mixerd (sndio)
- pgrep (with the -x command, standard in BSD and Linux systems)
#### But *why* though?
I made volsv so that I could use it with keybindings to control the volume,
regardless of whether or not I was running pulseaudio, since I dislike
pulseaudio and tend to avoid it when possible. This means I can have a
consistent keybinding, whether or not I'm using it. Additionally, it has
provided a fun learning experience as I learn to write scripts.
#### Flags/Commands
- increase volume: `-i`
- decrease volume: `-d`
- toggle system mute: `-t`
- toggle microphone mute: `-m`
- get volume level: `-v`
- get mute state: `-g`
- get volume and mute: `-a`
- help message: `-h`
