.B tio
is a simple TTY terminal application which features a straightforward
commandline interface to easily connect to TTY devices for basic input/output.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.BR \-b ", " "\-\-baudrate " \fI<bps>
Set baud rate [bps] (default: 115200).
.TP
.BR \-d ", " "\-\-databits 5" | 6 | 7 | 8
Set data bits (default: 8).
.TP
.BR \-f ", " "\-\-flow hard" | soft | none
Set flow control (default: none).
.TP
.BR \-s ", " "\-\-stopbits 1" | 2
Set stop bits (default: 1).
.TP
.BR \-p ", " "\-\-parity odd" | even | none
Set parity (default: none).
.TP
.BR \-o ", " "\-\-output\-delay " \fI<ms>
Set output delay [ms] inserted between each transmitted character (default: 0).
.TP
.BR \-n ", " \-\-no\-autoconnect
Disable automatic connect.
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
.B \-\-no\-autoconnect
option is provided, tio will exit if the device is not present or an established connection is lost.
.TP
.BR \-l ", " "\-\-log " \fI<filename>
Log to file.
.TP
.BR \-m ", " "\-\-map " \fI<flags>
Map (replace, translate) special characters on input or output. The following mapping flags are supported:
.RS
.TP 8n
.IP "\fBINLCR"
Translate NL to CR on input.
.IP "\fBIGNCR"
Ignore carriage return on input.
.IP "\fBICRNL"
Translate carriage return to newline on input (unless IGNCR is set).
.IP "\fBONLCR"
Map NL to CR-NL on output.
.IP "\fBOCRNL"
Map CR to NL on output.
.P
If defining more than one flag, the flags must be comma separated.
.RE
.TP
.BR \-v ", " \-\-version
Display program version.
.TP
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
Display help.
.SH "KEYS"
.PP
.TP 16n
In session, the following key sequences are intercepted as tio commands:
.IP "\fBctrl-t ?"
List available key commands
.IP "\fBctrl-t b"
Send serial break (triggers SysRq on Linux, etc.)
.IP "\fBctrl-t c"
Show configuration (baudrate, databits, etc.)
.IP "\fBctrl-t h"
Toggle hexadecimal mode
.IP "\fBctrl-t l"
Clear screen
.IP "\fBctrl-t q"
Quit
.IP "\fBctrl-t s"
Show statistics (total number of bytes transmitted/received)
.IP "\fBctrl-t t"
Send ctrl-t key code
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.TP
Typical use is without options. For example:
tio /dev/ttyUSB0
.TP
Which corresponds to the commonly used options:
tio \-b 115200 \-d 8 \-f none \-s 1 \-p none /dev/ttyUSB0
.TP
It is recommended to connect serial tty devices by id. For example:
tio /dev/serial/by\-id/usb\-FTDI_TTL232R-3V3_FTGQVXBL\-if00\-port0
.PP
Using serial devices by id ensures that tio automatically reconnects to the
correct serial device if the device is disconnected and then reconnected.
