Allow user to add options on both sides of the provided config argument.
For example:
$ tio -b 9600 am64-evm -e
Before, tio only allowed adding arguments after the config argument.
Implemented as simple as possible by introducing two stage option parsing.
Add support for IPv4 and IPv6 network sockets via socket syntax
"inet:<port>" and "inet6:<port>" respectively.
For example, to listen and redirect serial device I/O to a host bound
IPv4 socket simply do:
$ tio /dev/ttyUSB0 --socket inet:4444
To connect do e.g.:
$ nc 127.0.0.1 4444
Likewise, for IPv6 do:
$ tio /dev/ttyUSB0 --socket inet6:4444
To connect do e.g.:
$ nc ::1 4444
If port is 0 or no port is provided default port 3333 is used.
If tio has a unix file socket open, a second tio instance of tio may
delete the socket file. This change fixes so that it will not be deleted
and tio will instead error and complain about conflicting socket file.
Rework the color option to support setting ANSI color code values
ranging from 0..255 or "none" for no color or "list" to print a list of
available ANSI colors codes.
Also, disables color when piping.
While in hex mode (ctrl-t h) you can output hexadecimal values.
E.g.: to send 0x0A you have to type 0A (always 2 characters).
Added option -x, --hex to start in hexadecimal mode.
Added option --newline-in-hex to interpret newline characters in hex mode.
This is disabled by default, because, in my opinion, hex stream is
fundamentally different from text, so a "new line" is meaningless in this
context.
Optional arguments, as parsed by the getopt_long mechanism, are
inherently inconsistent with how you define required arguments.
To avoid confusion we decide to avoid this inconsistency by replacing
optional options with additional options with required argmuments.
Default configuration file settings were not parsed in case a section
was matched. Now we make sure that the default (unnamed) settings are
always parsed.
This allows for better config file ergonomics if the user has a diverse
set of serial devices as the name does not need to be specified in
the config file twice.
This feature allows an external program to inject output into and
listen to input from a serial port via a Unix domain socket (path
specified via the -S/--socket command line flag, or the socket
config file option) while tio is running. This is useful for ad-hoc
scripting of serial port interactions while still permitting manual
control. Since many serial devices (at least on Linux) get confused
when opened by multiple processes, and most commands do not know
how to correctly open a serial device, this allows a more convenient
usage model than directly writing to the device node from an external
program.
Any input from clients connected to the socket is sent on the serial
port as if entered at the terminal where tio is running (except that
ctrl-t sequences are not recognized), and any input from the serial
port is multiplexed to the terminal and all connected clients.
Sockets remain open while the serial port is disconnected, and writes
will block.
Example usage 1 (issue a command):
echo command | nc -UN /path/to/socket > /dev/null
Example usage 2 (use the expect command to script an interaction):
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout -1
log_user 0
spawn nc -UN /path/to/socket
set uart $spawn_id
send -i $uart "command1\n"
expect -i $uart "prompt> "
send -i $uart "command2\n"
expect -i $uart "prompt> "
This means that in case meson does not find libinih it will
automatically clone libinih and include it in the build.
The libinih library is reconfigured to be statically built so that no
shared object will be installed.
If no section name is specified the configuration will be considered the
default one.
This allows to set e.g. a default color code for sections which do not
configure a color code.
