ldattach — attach a line discipline to a serial line
ldattach [−1278denoVh] [ −i iflag ] [ −s speed ] ldisc device
The ldattach
daemon opens the specified device file (which should refer
to a serial device) and attaches the line discipline
ldisc to it for
processing of the sent and/or received data. It then goes
into the background keeping the device open so that the line
discipline stays loaded.
The line discipline ldisc may be specified either
by name or by number.
In order to detach the line discipline, kill(1) the ldattach process.
With no arguments, ldattach prints usage information.
Depending on the kernel release, the following line disciplines are supported:
TTY(0)The default line discipline, providing transparent operation (raw mode) as well as the habitual terminal line editing capabilities (cooked mode).
SLIP(1)Serial Line IP (SLIP) protocol processor for transmitting TCP/IP packets over serial lines.
MOUSE(2)Device driver for RS232 connected pointing devices (serial mice).
PPP(3)Point to Point Protocol (PPP) processor for transmitting network packets over serial lines.
STRIP(4)AX25(5)X25(6)Line driver for transmitting X.25 packets over asynchronous serial lines.
6PACK(7)R3964(9)Driver for Simatic R3964 module.
IRDA(11)Linux IrDa (infrared data transmission) driver - see http://irda.sourceforge.net/
HDLC(13)Synchronous HDLC driver.
SYNC_PPP(14)Synchronous PPP driver.
HCI(15)Bluetooth HCI UART driver.
GIGASET_M101(16)Driver for Siemens Gigaset M101 serial DECT adapter.
PPS(18)Driver for serial line Pulse Per Second (PPS) source.
GSM0710(21)Driver for GSM 07.10 multiplexing protocol modem (CMUX).
Set the number of stop bits of the serial line to one.
Set the number of stop bits of the serial line to two.
Set the character size of the serial line to 7 bits.
Set the character size of the serial line to 8 bits.
−d,
−−debugKeep ldattach in the foreground so that it can be interrupted or debugged, and to print verbose messages about its progress to standard error output.
−e,
−−evenparitySet the parity of the serial line to even.
−i,
−−iflag [−]value...Set the specified bits in the c_iflag word of the serial line. The given value may be a number or a symbolic name. If value is prefixed by a minus sign, the specified bits are cleared instead. Several comma-separated values may be given in order to set and clear multiple bits.
−n,
−−noparitySet the parity of the serial line to none.
−o,
−−oddparitySet the parity of the serial line to odd.
−s,
−−speed valueSet the speed (the baud rate) of the serial line to the specified value.
−c,
−−intro−command stringDefine an intro command that is sent through the serial line before the invocation of ldattach. E.g. in conjunction with line discipline GSM0710, the command 'AT+CMUX=0\r' is commonly suitable to switch the modem into the CMUX mode.
−p,
−−pause valueSleep for value seconds before the invocation of ldattach. Default is one second.
−V,
−−versionDisplay version information and exit.
−h,
−−helpDisplay help text and exit.
