options:

--link [destination directory]
--destination [destination directory]
--path [destination directory]

    Specify the directory for the links.  If no pathname is given, links will
    be created in the show_names directory inside of the current mythtv data
    directory on this machine.  eg:

    /var/video/show_names/

    WARNING: ALL symlinks within the destination directory and its
    subdirectories (recursive) will be removed.

--chanid chanid

    Create a link only for the specified recording file. Use with --starttime
    to specify a recording. This argument may be used with the event-driven
    notification system's "Recording started" event or in a post-recording
    user job.

--starttime starttime

    Create a link only for the specified recording file. Use with --chanid
    to specify a recording. This argument may be used with the event-driven
    notification system's "Recording started" event or in a post-recording
    user job.

--filename absolute_filename

    Create a link only for the specified recording file. This argument may be
    used with the event-driven notification system's "Recording started" event
    or in a post-recording user job.

    * The program start time is the time from the listings data and is not
      affected by when the recording started.  Therefore, using program start
      (or end) times may result in duplicate names.  In that case, the script
      will append a "counter" value to the name.

    * A suffix of .mpg or .nuv will be added where appropriate.

    * To separate links into subdirectories, include the / format specifier
      between the appropriate fields.  For example, "\%T/\%S" would create
      a directory for each title containing links for each recording named
      by subtitle.  You may use any number of subdirectories in your format
      specifier.

--separator

    The string used to separate sections of the link name.  Specifying the
    separator allows trailing separators to be removed from the link name and
    multiple separators caused by missing data to be consolidated. Indicate the
    separator character in the format string using either a literal character
    or the \%- specifier.

    default:  '$dseparator'

--replacement

    Characters in the link name which are not legal on some filesystems will
    be replaced with the given character

    illegal characters:  \\ : * ? < > | "

    default:  '$dreplacement'

--underscores

    Replace whitespace in filenames with underscore characters.

    default:  No underscores

--rename

    Rename the recording files back to their default names.  If you had
    previously used mythrename.pl to rename files (rather than creating links
    to the files), use this option to restore the file names to their default
    format.

    Renaming the recording files is no longer supported.  Instead, use
    http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/mythfs.py to create a FUSE file system that
    represents recordings using human-readable file names or use mythlink.pl to
    create links with human-readable names to the recording files.

--maxlength length

    Ensure the link name is length or fewer characters.  If the link name is
    longer than length, truncate the name. Zero or any negative value for
    length disables length checking.

    Note that this option does not take into account the path length, so on a
    file system used by applications with small path limitations (such as
    Windows Explorer and Windows Command Prompt), you should specify a length
    that takes into account characters used by the path to the dest directory.

    default:  Unlimited

--verbose

    Print debug info.

    default:  No info printed to console
