After including the use of glib we might as well replace inih
with the glib key file parser.
All configuraiton file parsing has been reworked and also the options
parsing has been cleaned up, resulting in better and stricter
configuration file and option value checks.
Compared to old, configuration files now requires any default
configurations to be put in a group/section named [default].
Configuration file keywords such as "enable", "disable", "on",
"off", "yes", "no", "0", "1" have been retired. Now only "true" and
"false" apply to boolean configuration options. This is done to simplify
things and avoid any confusion.
The pattern option feature has been reworked so now the user can now
access the full match string and any matching subexpression using the
%mN syntax.
For example:
[usb devices]
pattern = usb([0-9]*)
device = /dev/ttyUSB%m1
Then when using tio:
$ tio usb12
%m0 = 'usb12' // Full match string
%m1 = 12 // First match subexpression
Which results in device = /dev/ttyUSB12
So that the exclude options can also work as include using special
pattern syntax.
For example, to only include /dev/ttyUSB* devices simply do:
$ tio --exclude-devices=!(/dev/ttyUSB*) --list
See the man page of fnmatch() for all available extended pattern
options.
Collapses lua high(), low(), toggle(), config_high(), config_low(),
config_apply() into one simple function:
set{<line>=<state>, ...}
Line can be any of DTR, RTS, CTS, DSR, CD, RI.
State is high, low, or toggle.
Example:
script = set{DTR=high, RTS=low}; msleep(100); set{DTR=low, RTS=high}; msleep(100); set{RTS=low}
Notice the use of {} instad of () when calling the set function. This is
required to pass parameters by name in lua.
If a vt100 terminal receives the Shift In character '\016' it will
enable the 7 bit DEC Special Graphics character set used for line drawing.
For most users this can happen due to line noise from the tty device and
will likely mess up your terminal even after tio exits.
To better handle this we want to make sure that tio disables this mode
by sending the Shift Out character '\017' at exit.
This mechanism will only activate if environment variable TERM assumes
value "vt100".
Adds support for hexN mode where N is a number in the range 1 to 4096
which defines how many hex values will be printed before a line break.
In short, it defines the width of the hex output.
In this mode, if timestamps are enabled they will be added to each hex
line.
* Rename --list-devices to --list
* Rename --no-autoconnect to --no-reconnect
* Switch -l and -L options
* -l now lists available serial devices
* -L enables log to file
* Add option --auto-connect <strategy>
* Supported strategies:
* "new" - Waits to connect first new appearing serial device
* "latest" - Connects to latest registered serial device
* "direct" - Connect directly to specified serial device (default)
* Add options to exclude serial devices from auto connect strategy by
pattern
* Supported exclude options:
* --exclude-devices <pattern>
Example: '--exclude-devices "/dev/ttyUSB2,/dev/ttyS?"'
* --exclude-drivers <pattern>
Example: '--exclude-drivers "cdc_acm"'
* --exclude-tids <pattern>
Example: '--exclude-tids "yW07,bCC2"'
* Patterns support '*' and '?'
* Connect to same port/device combination via unique topology ID (TID)
* Topology ID is a 4 digit base62 encoded hash of a device topology
string coming from the Linux kernel. This means that whenever you
plug in the same e.g. USB serial port device to the same USB hub
port connected via the exact same hub topology all the way to your
computer, you will get the same unique TID.
* Useful for stable reconnections when serial device has no serial
device by ID
* For now, only tested on Linux.
* Reworked and improved listing of serial devices to show serial devices:
* By device
* Including TID, uptime, driver, and description.
* Sorted by uptime (newest device listed last)
* By unique topology ID
* By ID
* By path
* Add script interface 'list = tty_search()' for searching for serial
devices.
