Utilities

Besides the main client and its interfaces, aMule ships several standalone utilities that cover specific tasks: adding eD2k links to a running instance, generating eD2k links for local files, and displaying aMule statistics. They run independently of the main client (some need no running aMule instance at all) and are available in --disable-monolithic builds.

Utility	Description
ed2k	Command-line handler that adds ed2k:// links to a running aMule instance through the ED2KLinks file. It is also the binary web browsers invoke when the user clicks an ed2k:// link.
alc / alcc	ALinkCreator — generates eD2k links for files on your local filesystem. alc is graphical, alcc is command-line. Both work without a running aMule instance.
wxcas / cas	Statistics tools that read aMule's online signature file (amulesig.dat) and report its status. wxcas is graphical; cas outputs console text, a PNG image, or an HTML page.

note

aMule also ships fileview, a console tool that dumps the decoded contents of aMule's binary data files (server.met, nodes.dat, *.part.met, …). It is a developer diagnostic tool, so it is documented in the Developer Guide.
