net2kiss(8)
convert a network AX.25 driver to a KISS stream on a pseudo-tty
SYNOPSIS
net2kiss [-sfzva] [-i ifname] ptyname
DESCRIPTION
net2kiss
takes AX.25 packets from an AX.25 kernel network interface and converts them
into a KISS data stream via a pseudo-tty.
PARAMETERS
- ptyname
-
specifies the path to the pseudo-tty. If you use the special name "/dev/ptmx", then a Unix98-PTY pair is used; the pty name is written to stdout.
OPTIONS
- -i ifname
-
specifies the name of the kernel AX.25 network interface. The default
is bc0.
- -s
-
tells net2kiss to search by itself for a free pseudoterminal, open the
master side and create a symlink named by -p to the slave side.
- -f
-
can be used in conjunction with -s to force the creation of the symlink
even if the target file does already exist. *DANGEROUS*
- -v
-
Verbose output. Displays error messages during operation and decoded
packets to stdout.
- -z
-
put the network interface into promiscious mode.
- -a
-
receive every packet instead of only AX.25 from the kernel AX.25 network
interface.
BUGS
None known.
