net2kiss - Man Page
convert a network AX.25 driver to a KISS stream on a pseudo-tty
Synopsis
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.
