ttyrecv(1)

💖 ttyrecv(1) — Serial Line Rate Tester (Receive) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ttyrecv page from the Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit manual. it's giving serial port vibes, it's giving "let me just listen for a sec", and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ttyrecv [options] [>stdout]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, ttyrecv receives data from a serial device. that's the whole thing. the primary purpose of this program is to receive data over a serial port for a specified time duration. that's it. that's the assignment. 💅

and then, the way that it exits? it exits after the receive time (peep -t) has elapsed. no drama, no lingering, it just dips when its timer's up. ⏰

this program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. lowkey important: see the amp man page for an overview and installation instructions. 🫶

🚧 COMMENTS 🚧

not me about to deliver bad news 😭 — this program does not yet support Windows platforms. so if you're on Windows... bestie, it's not happening. yet. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -c — consume all data received, like, do not print it to standard output. it just swallows it. no crumbs left. 🍓
• -l file — the serial port file to read data from. the default is /dev/ttyS0. that's the one unless you say otherwise, fr fr.
• -r — print the receive rate to standard output after the receive time has elapsed. the receipts, literally. 📊
• -s speed — the serial baud rate. supported baud rates are 0, 50, 75, 110, 134, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 500000 and 921600. pick your fighter. ⚡
• -?, --help — print the program help summary on stdout. and get this: this option takes precedence over other options on the command line. it said main character energy only. 👑
• -?, --version — print program version information on stdout. this option also takes precedence over other options on the command line. use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of the Linux Toolkit you are using. like, they need to know, bestie, don't gatekeep your version. 🫶
