SOUNDMODEMCONFIG(8)

πŸ’– SOUNDMODEMCONFIG β€” okay bestie, let's build you a modem config ✨

so this is soundmodemconfig from the Linux AX.25 Utilities Manual, section 8 β€” the system-admin corner of the manual, you know the vibe πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

soundmodemconfig β€” literally just the Soundcard modem configuration utility 🌈 that's the whole job description, she's focused


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

soundmodemconfig [ -sSRM ] [-v verbosity level] [-c configuration name]

okay so she takes some flags, no big deal πŸ’…

  • -sSRM β€” these four live together in one lil cluster, exactly as written: -s, -S, -R, -M. The page doesn't spell out what each one does, so I'm not gonna make stuff up, bestie πŸ™ˆ take them at face value.
  • -v verbosity level β€” you hand her a verbosity level and she... is more or less chatty, presumably. That's the flag.
  • -c configuration name β€” you hand her a configuration name. Yes, that's what it says. 🫢

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so soundmodemconfig is a GUI tool πŸ–₯️✨ β€” a graphical one, clicky-clicky, no terminal wizardry required β€” and her whole purpose in life is creating a configuration file for soundmodem (8). iconic behaviour honestly πŸŽ€

the default file name is:

/etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf

but like, that's just the default, ok?? she's flexible πŸ’… you can specify any other file name you want right there on the command line. main character energy, your rules πŸ¦‹
