set_vfo_opt can now dynamically change vfo mode on rigctld
So this example now works...does some non-vfo stuff then switches to vfo mode
rigctl -m 2 F 14074000 V VFOB F 14076000 V VFOA f V VFOB f set_vfo_opt 1 f VFOA
rigctl commands v,V and S have been changed to not require VFO arguments
New API function rig_set_vfo_opt -- only implemented for Net rigctl as it doesn't apply to any other rigs
Fix declarations after statements
Remove some !rig checks...we either don't need them or need them everywhere with a new error code
If you pass a NULL rig you get what you deserve :-)
This found tons of errors in rig_debug statements
So this patch cleans up all the files that were producing warnings or errors
This should fix a few segfaults when running with debug turned on
On Debian Buster gcc ((Debian 8.2.0-8) 8.2.0) was throwing the following
warning:
CC rigctl.o
../../hamlib/tests/rigctl.c:125:18: warning: ‘have_rl’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
static const int have_rl = 0;
^~~~~~~
and:
CC rotctl.o
../../hamlib/tests/rotctl.c:113:18: warning: ‘have_rl’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
static const int have_rl = 0;
^~~~~~~
Turns out I didn't have the readline-dev package installed. As the have_rl
variable is wrapped in CPP macros, it indeed is not used when readline is not
available.
Because some rigs lock their front panel when opened for CAT it is
helpful to call rig_close() in rigctld when no clients are
connected. This change does that.
A CTRL+C handler is also added to allow rig_close() to be called
during exit.
Separate FT-891 features
Fix rigctl and rigctld to not abort on function not available
Change Yaesu detection of FA length to automatic method instead of rig specific
This makes the first non-option argument end getopt_long() parsing
stop rather than shuffling non-option arguments to the end. This is
necessary so that rig/rotator command language arguments can start
with a '-' character and also it enables the '-' pseudo command to
switch to reading commands from stdin work correctly.
The change also make checking for the '-', switch to stdin, command
stricter in that it must be where a command is expected and it must be
a word containing exactly a single '-' character.
Overall this allows the following styles of use:
$ rigctl R -
$ rigctl - <<EOF
>R -
>EOF
R -
$ echo "R -" | rigctl -
R -
$ rigctl -m 1 M CW -1
$ rigctl F 434000000 - <<EOF
>M FM 15000
>f m
>EOF
M FM 15000
f 145000000
m FM
15000
$
as well as the command line interpreter operation where no commands
nor '-' are provided:
$ rigctl
Rig command: R -
Rig command: r
Rptr Shift: -
Rig command: f
Frequency: 145000000
Rig command: m
Mode: FM
Passband: 15000
Rig command: F 434000000
Rig command: f
Frequency: 434000000
Rig command: q
$
As Hamlib now restores the rig auto information state (AI) on exit
there is now a need to disable that functionality so that rigctl can
be used to set/reset AI mode on the rig explicitly.
A new public API function 'rig_no_restore_ai()' is also added that
allows any client to disable this auto AI restore functionality if
required. Most clients should do nothing as restoring AI state is a
good thing.
As commands from a previous session may not be desired, make reading the
history file at rigctl start and writing to it at rigctl close optional
by use of the -i/--read_history or -I/--save-history options.
Compilation is conditional on having Readline and Readline History
support detected at build system configuration time.
History is stored in '$HOME/.rigctl_history' by default. An alternate
path may be specified by setting the RIGCTL_HIST_DIR environment
variable:
$ RIGCTL_HIST_DIR=~/.rigctl rigctl -iI
will temporarily set the history directory to /home/USER/.rigctl and
create .rigctl_history if it does not exist. If the file cannot be read
or written a warning message will be given on stderr.
Implement first cut at storing and recalling history. At this point
history is retained for the current session only.
History is stored as complete command lines even if values are entered
at separate prompts. Readline allows editing and even deleting recalled
history lines.
