Usage, options, and defaults

gohls [-l=bool] [-t duration] [-ua user-agent] media-playlist-url output-file

• -l=false: Use local time to track duration instead of supplied metadata
• -t=0: Recording duration (0 == infinite)
• -ua="user-agent": User-Agent for HTTP client

The recording duration should be specified as a Go-compatible duration string.

TODO

• Encrypted streams support?
• Proper Ctrl-C handling
