## 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 disconnects), 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.
