Logfiles are important to see what happend, in particular if something unexpected happened; so we want to make sure that the logfile is flushed to disk. Before this change, the logfile was typically written at the end in a large chunk as the default (large) buffering applied. Now, characters are written out ASAP, so it is possible to get a live-view with a tail -f <logfile> |

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.
