=== tio - a simple TTY terminal I/O application ===
1. Introduction
tio is a simple TTY terminal application which features a straightforward
commandline interface to easily connect to TTY devices for basic
input/output.
It was created because the author needed a simple no-nonsense TTY terminal
application to easily connect to various terminal TTY devices.
2. Usage
The commandline interface is straightforward as reflected in the output
from 'tio --help':
Usage: tio [<options>] <tty device>
Options:
-b, --baudrate <bps> Baud rate (default: 115200)
-d, --databits 5|6|7|8 Data bits (default: 8)
-f, --flow hard|soft|none Flow control (default: none)
-s, --stopbits 1|2 Stop bits (default: 1)
-p, --parity even|odd|none Parity (default: none)
-o, --output-delay <ms> Output delay (default: 0)
-n, --no-autoconnect Disable automatic connect
-l, --log <filename> Log to file
-m, --map <flags> Map special characters
-v, --version Display version
-h, --help Display help
In session, press ctrl-t q to quit.
The only option which requires a bit of elaboration is perhaps the
--no-autoconnect option.
By default tio automatically connects to the provided device if present.
If the device is not present, it will wait for it to appear and then
connect. If the connection is lost (eg. device is unplugged), it will wait
for the device to reappear and then reconnect. However, if the
--no-autoconnect option is provided, tio will exit if the device is not
present or an established connection is lost.
Tio features full bash autocompletion support.
Tio also supports various key commands. Press ctrl-t ? to list the
available key commands.
See the tio man page for more details.
