✨ NAME ✨

ax25d — General purpose AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose daemon 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ax25d [-v] [-c altconffile] [-l]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: ax25d is a general purpose server daemon, and its whole vibe is that it listens on a bunch of AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose ports and then offers different services depending on the port, the callsign, and other parameters 👑

And like, the way it knows what to do? It's driven by a complex configuration file — and a full description of that lives in another manual page, so go read that one too, iykyk 📖✨

ax25d also has the facility to log information about incoming connections to the system log file. By default though? No logging is done. None. Zero. Silent queen 🤫

When ax25d is running and you make a change in the configuration file, you can force it to re-read that configuration file by sending it a SIGHUP. That's the move 💅

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -c altconffile — Specifies an alternate configuration file name. Like, use a different config than the default one, bestie 🗂️
• -l — Specifies that messages should be logged into the system log file. By default no messages are logged, so this is you opting in to the receipts 📝
• -v — Display the version. Short, sweet, iconic ⭐
