💖 KISSNETD(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Linux System Managers Manual page for kissnetd — manual name KISSNETD(8), and this one is all about making a virtual network like it's no big deal. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

kissnetd — Create a virtual network.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kissnetd [-f size] [-v] [-p <num> | tty... ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So kissnetd lets you create a virtual network of AX.25 systems that use the KISS protocol. Each tty you name on the command line gets opened, and any KISS frames received on a tty are copied to the other ttys. That's the whole slay: a number of AX.25 systems can share the same packets. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -p num — Automatically allocates num Unix98 slave pty's via /dev/ptmx. These are written to stdout and could be parsed by your startup scripts. Honestly, kissnetd -p 3 is a comfortable alternative to kissnetd /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx.
  • -f size — Sets the maximum KISS frame size that the program will handle. The default is 512 bytes, which will be adequate under most circumstances.
  • -v — Enables verbose mode; tracing of data passed is sent to standard output.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
