- .TH ttycat 1 "Mar 2014" "plc-utils-2.1.6" "Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit"
- .SH NAME
- ttycat - Serial Line Output Utility
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .BR ttycat
- .RI [ options ]
- .RI [ file ]
- .RI [ file ]
- .RI [> stdout ]
- .PP
- .BR ttycat
- .RI [ options ]
- .RI [< stdin ]
- .RI [> stdout ]
- .PP
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Copy one or more files to a serial device.
- This program is similar to traditional \fBcat\fR utility but expects stdout to be a serial tty device.
- It will configure stdout before writing and will restore the original configuration afterwards.
- It can be used to send data to the local Atheros UART-enabled powerline device.
- If the remote powerline device is not UART-enabled, use program \fBedru\fR to capture and display arriving at the remote host and program \fBedsu\fR to send files in the opposite direction.
- .PP
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.
- See the \fBAMP\fR man page for an overview and installation instructions.
- .SH COMMENTS
- This program only supports the \fBLinux\fR and \fBMacOSX\fR platforms, at present.
- .SH OPTIONS
- .TP
- -\fBs \fIspeed\fR
- The serial baud rate.
- Supported baud rates are \fB0\fR, \fB50\fR, \fB75\fR, \fB110\fR, \fB134\fR, \fB150\fR, \fB200\fR, \fB300\fR, \fB600\fR, \fB1200\fR, \fB1800\fR, \fB2400\fR, \fB4800\fR, \fB9600\fR, \fB19200\fR, \fB38400\fR, \fB57600\fR, \fB115200\fR, \fB230400\fR, \fB460800\fR, \fB500000\fR and \fB921600\fR.
- .TP
- .RB - ? ,-- help
- Print program help summary on stdout.
- This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- .TP
- .RB - ? ,-- version
- Print program version information on stdout.
- This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .TP
- .IR file
- The name of an input file.
- No assumptions are made about the file based on the filename or extension.
- Input files are not modified.
- .TP
- .IR stdout
- The name of a serial output device.
- A error will occur if the device is not a true tty device according as determined by the \fBisatty\fR function.
- Depending on the amount of input data and the baud rate, serial output may take several seconds or several minutes.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- The following command copies files \fBabc.txt\fR and \fBdef.bin\fR to stdout which must be an active serial device or an error will occur.
- .PP
- # ttycat abc.txt def.bin > /dev/ttyUSB1
