io2
The gensiotool program allows connections to be made using
gensios It creates two gensios called io1 and io2. io1
is by default the local terminal and io2 must be specified.
By default, gensiotool make two normal gensios and
establishes connections to each of them. Any data that comes in on one
gensio is transmitted on the other.
For a description of how to specify a gensio, see the gensio
documentation.
- -i|--input io1
- By default io1 is the local terminal ( /dev/tty ) for a tty stdin,
or the program's stdin/stdout for a non-tty stdin. This lets another
gensio be specified as the device hook to io2.
- -a|--accepter
- By default io2 make an outgoing connection. This modifies io2 to be a
gensio accepter and waits for an incoming connection. Once the connection
comes in, the accepter is closed and operations proceeds as normal.
- --signature
- Serial server signature reported to the remote end. If an accepter is
specified (currently only a telnet RFC2217 server) the signature given is
used instead of "gensiotool".
- -d|--debug
- Generate debugging output. Specifying more than once increases the
output.
- -e|--escchar char
- Specify a character to use for the escape character. Setting it to -1
disables the escape character. This can either be a decimal or hexadeximal
number or ^x to set a control character. By default it is ^\ if io1 is the
default and stdin is a tty, or disabled otherwise. See ESCAPES below for
more details on the escape character. Only handled on io1.
- -p|--printacc
- If -a is specified, print out all the accept addresses chosen by
the program.
- -h|--help
- Help output
If the escape character is received on io1, the character is not
transferred and the program waits for another character. If the other
character is also the escape character, a single escape character is sent.
If the other character is not recognized as a valid escape, it is ignore and
not transferred. Upper and lower case are equivalent.
Escape characters are:
- q
- Quit the program.
- b
- Send a break to io2. Ignored if io2 does not support break.
- d
- Dump serial data for io2. Ignored if io2 is not a serial gensio.
- s
- Set the serial port (baud) rate for io2. Ignored if io2 is not a serial
gensio. After this, the serial port speed must be typed, terminated by a
new line. Invalid speeds are ignore, use escchar-d to know if you set it
right.
- n, o, e
- Set the parity on io2 to none, odd, or even. Ignored if io2 is not a
serial gensio.
- 7, 8
- Set the data size on io2 to 7 or 8 bits. Ignored if io2 is not a serial
gensio.
- 1, 2
- Set the number of stop bits to 1 or 2 on io2 bits. Ignored if io2 is not a
serial gensio.
