:q - quit
:v - show version
:: - send ':'
Escapes:
\dNNN - decimal NNN (e.g: \d045 = 45)
\xNN - hexadecimal NN (e.g: \xff = 255)
\bNNNNNNNN - binary NNNNNNNN (e.g: \b00000001 = 1)
Added option --line-edit, to start the program in line editing mode.
Added option --no-newline-in-line-edit to prevent sending newline
characters.
Add a --map option which allows to map special characters, in particular CR and
NL characters which are used in various combinations on varios platforms.
Various platforms supports different baud rates.
To avoid adding platform specific handling generic baud rate detection
tests are introduced in the configure script. Successfully detected baud
rates are automatically enabled. This applies to both the C code and the
bash completion script.
Note:
Baud rates below 57600 are defined by POSIX-1 and supported by most
platforms so only baud rate 57600 and above are tested.
