.SH NAME

rotd \- Hamlib rotator service daemon
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B rpc.rotd
|
|
[\fIOPTION\fR]...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The \fBrotd\fP program is a \fBHamlib\fP rotator daemon that handles RPC
|
|
client requests. This allows multiple user programs to share one rotator. At
|
|
this time multiple rotator support is not available (help needed!).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
|
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
|
|
.\" respectively.
|
|
Keep in mind that \fBHamlib\fP is BETA level software.
|
|
While a lot of backend libraries lack complete rig support, the basic functions
|
|
are usually well supported. The API may change without publicized notice,
|
|
while an advancement of the minor version (e.g. 1.1.x to 1.2.x) indicates such
|
|
a change.
|
|

Please report bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail address given in the
|
|
REPORTING BUGS section. Patches and code enhancements are also welcome.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
|
|
options starting with two dashes (`-').
|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of the supported options:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m, --model=id
|
|
Select rotator model number. See model list (use 'rotctl -l').
|
|
.br
|
|
NB: \fBrotctl\fP (or third party software) will use rotor model 101
|
|
when using \fBrotd\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r, --rot-file=device
|
|
Use \fIdevice\fP as the file name of the port the rotator is connected.
|
|
Often a serial port, but could be a USB to serial adapter. Typically
|
|
/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0, etc.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s, --serial-speed=baud
|
|
Set serial speed to \fIbaud\fP rate. Uses maximum serial speed from rotor
|
|
backend as the default.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]*
|
|
Set config parameter. e.g. stop_bits=2
|
|
.br
|
|
Use -L option of \fBrotctl\fP for a list.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t, --prog=number
|
|
Use \fInumber\fP as the RPC program number. The default is 536873369.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v, --verbose
|
|
Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, --help
|
|
Show summary of these options and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-V, \-\-version
|
|
Show version of \fBrpc.rotd\fP and exit.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Please note that the backend for the rotator to be controlled,
|
|
or the rotator itself may not support some commands. In that case,
|
|
the operation will fail with a \fBHamlib\fP error code.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Start \fBrotd\fP as root for a RotorEZ using a USB to serial adapter and
|
|
backgrounding:
|
|
.PP
|
|
# rpc.rotd -m 401 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 &
|
|
.PP
|
|
Start \fBrotd\fP as root for a RotorEZ using COM1 while generating TRACE
|
|
output:
|
|
.PP
|
|
# rpc.rotd -m 401 -r /dev/ttyS0 -vvvvv
|
|
.PP
|
|
Start \fBrotd\fP as root for a RotorEZ using a USB to serial adapter while
|
|
setting baud rate and stop bits and backgrounding:
|
|
.PP
|
|
# rpc.rotd -m 401 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -s 4800 -C stop_bits=2 &
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The \fB-v\fP, \fB--version\fP option allows different levels of diagnostics
|
|
to be output to \fBstderr\fP and correspond to -v for BUG, -vv for ERR,
|
|
-vvv for WARN, -vvvv for VERBOSE, or -vvvvv for TRACE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A given verbose level is useful for providing needed debugging information to
|
|
the email address below. For example, TRACE output shows all of the values
|
|
sent to and received from the rotator which is very useful for rotator backend
|
|
library development and may be requested by the developers.
|
|
.SH SECURITY
|
|
No authentication whatsoever; could be done through domain restriction,
|
|
though. Please ask if stronger security is needed.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Does not support more than one communication device for multiple rotor control.
|
|
(e.g. for Single Operator 2 Radio) Help needed!
|
|
.SH REPORTING BUGS
|
|
Report bugs to <hamlib-developer@lists.sourceforge.net>.
|
|

|
|
We are already aware of the bug in the previous section :-)
