🎀 NAME 🎀

kissutil — KISS TNC troubleshooting and Application Interface. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kissutil [ options ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

kissutil can be used interactively for troubleshooting a KISS TNC. It is usable with direwolf and other generic KISS TNCs connected to a serial port. It can also be used as an application interface where each side places files in a directory for the other to process. See User Guide for more details. it’s giving “tiny file-based group chat for your TNC.” 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h host — Hostname or IP address for a TCP KISS TNC. Default is localhost. local queen behavior. 👑
• -p port — A number may be specified for a TCP port other than the default 8001. If not a number, it is considered to be a serial port name such as /dev/ttyS0 or COM3. so it’s like “number? TCP. not number? serial vibes.” 🎀
• -s speed — Speed for serial port. e.g. 9600. speed, but make it serial. ⚡
• -o rec-directory — For each received frame, a new file is created here. It is expected that some other application will process files in this directory then delete them. inbox energy, but for frames. 📥
• -T format — Each received frame will be preceded by a timestamp in the specified format. See strftime documentation for a description of the format string. Example: %H:%M:%S for current time in hours, minutes, seconds. timestamp bestie has entered the chat. 🕰️
• -f xmit-directory — Files in this directory are transmitted and deleted. Another application places a file here when it wants something to be transmitted. outbox core. 📤
• -v — Verbose - Display the KISS frames going to and from the TNC. literally showing you the whole conversation. 👀
