NAME

irdaattachattach serial lines to IrDA frame driver

SYNOPSIS

irdaattach [-d dongle] [-fHhlmnp] ttyname

DESCRIPTION

irdaattach is used to assign a tty line to an IrDA frame level driver. The following operands are supported by irdaattach:
-d dongle
Sets the dongle type. The following dongles are supported:
none
No dongle
tekram
Tekram IR-210B
jeteye
Extended Systems JetEye
actisys
ACTiSYS IR-220L
actisys+
ACTiSYS IR-220L+
litelink
Parallax LiteLink
girbil
Greenwich GIrBIL

The default is none.

-f
Print the name of the IrDA frame device that should be used to access the frames.
-H
Turn on DTR/CTS flow control. By default, no flow control is done.
-h
Turn on RTS/CTS flow control. By default, no flow control is done.
-l
Turn on the CLOCAL flag, making it possible to run SLIP on a cable without modem control signals (e.g. DTR, DSR, DCD).
-m
Maintain modem control signals after closing the line. Specifically, this disables HUPCL.
-n
Do not detach from invoking tty.
-p
Print process id to file.
ttyname
Specifies the name of the tty device. Ttyname should be a string of the form ‘ttyXX', or ‘/dev/ttyXX'.

Only the super-user may attach a network interface.

The frame driver is detached by killing the irdaattach process.

EXAMPLES

irdaattach tty00 
ircomm -Y -d `irdaattach -p -f /dev/tty02`

DIAGNOSTICS

Messages indicating that the specified interface does not exist, the requested address is unknown, or that the user is not privileged but tried to alter an interface's configuration.
