|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar patty.sock ifname
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exposes a
|
|
.Xr pattyd 8
|
|
interface as a KISS TNC via a pseudoterminal. This device can either be read
|
|
from or written to. The device can be connected to by only one process at a
|
|
time. However, multiple instances of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be attached to an interface simultaneously. Each frame sent out to the
|
|
interface, or received by the interface, is written to the KISS TNC device.
|
|
In turn, each frame received by the KISS TNC is sent out to the interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Both arguments,
|
|
.Ar patty.sock ,
|
|
a Unix domain socket to a
|
|
.Xr pattyd 8
|
|
instance, and an
|
|
.Ar ifname ,
|
|
an interface valid on that AX.25 daemon, are required. When a KISS TNC
|
|
device is successfully created, the pseudoterminal device name is printed to
|
|
standard output.
