axgetput - upload or download files via AX.25 / axspawn Linux login session.
axgetput [-b
blocksize] [-i] [-v] [-h] [?]
filename
axgetput [-b
blocksize] [-i] -s [-v] [-h] [?] [
filename]
- -b blocksize
- Set the blocksize (frame length) of transmitted data.
Defaults to 256 bytes which matches typical AX.25 network confurations
best.
- -i
- Compute CRC checksum only.
- .B -s
- Indicates input from a stream. This option is available
only if STDIN is a pipe. The filename argument may be omitted if -s is
given. The length of the file need not to be known.
- -v
- print version and exit.
- -h, ?
- print usage and exit.
axgetput is the actual name of the program. You execute for e.g.
bget or
bput while axgetput is the common program to which bget
and bput are linked to. axgetput autodetermines which operation mode the user
desires.
axgetput sets the pty to be 8bit clean (thus enables binary mode for the file
transfer). It requires that the user is logged in through
axspawn(8).
I. #BIN Protocol
bget is used for downloading a file on this system from the unix login
shell via his ax25 session to his packet-radio terminal program. The download
"protocol" is the "#BIN" standard known from packet radio
mailboxes.
bput does it the other way around: with this command, the user may upload
a file to this computer.
The #BIN protocol provides a CRC consistency check after the file is
transferred. The transfer of the file modification time is part of the #BIN
protocol.
II. YAPP Protocol
yget or
yput is reserved for the yapp protocol, which is not
supported in this version.
II. DIDADIT Protocol
rget or
rput is reserved for the didadit protocol, which is not
supported in this version.
Anyone like to implement yapp and didadit protcols?
