✨ ttysend(1) — Serial Line Rate Tester (Send) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ttysend, a little legend from the Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit 💖 she sends data down a serial line so your other fave ttyrecv can catch it. rate testing? iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ttysend [options] [<stdin]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically: you're sending data to a serial device. That's the whole vibe. The primary purpose of this program is to send data over a serial port that can then be received with the ttyrecv utility. it's giving teamwork, it's giving tag-team serial comms 🫶

The ttysend program exits when either one of these conditions is met — and yes, whichever comes first:

1. The file specified on the command line (peep -f) is sent in its entirety.
2. The send time specified on the command line (peep -t) has elapsed.

This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation instructions. iykyk 💫

🙈 COMMENTS 🙈

not me about to tell you the saddest thing: this program does not yet support Windows platforms. 💀 that's it. that's the comment. we mourn.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -f file — the file to send, bestie. If this option is not specified, the values 0x00 to 0xFF are sent in a loop 🔁. Instead of a filename, a - may be specified — this is similar to the tar utility, and it instructs ttysend to read from standard input. stdin girlies rise 🫶
• -l file — the serial port file to send data to. The default is /dev/ttyS0. 👑
• -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 ⚡
• -t time — transmit for a maximum of time seconds. The default is 15 seconds. ⏳
• -?, --help — print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line. she does NOT wait her turn 💅
• -?, --version — print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line too. 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. receipts for the support girlies 📸

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

None. 😭 that's literally what it says. no examples. we're thriving on vibes and the OPTIONS section alone, fr fr.
