Martin Lund 9dd21af867 Renamed "gotty" to "tio"
Renamed to "tio" because it is shorter and this new name also more
precisely reflects what the program is - a simple TTY terminal I/O
application.

"tio" can be considered short for terminal I/O or TTY I/O or a
combination of the two, whichever you prefer.

Also, wanted to avoid naming conflicts with other projects.

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.TP
The most common use is without options. For example:
tio /dev/ttyUSB0
.TP
Which corresponds to:
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.
