NAME
ncpd - Daemon which handles the serial link to a Psion
SYNOPSIS
ncpd
[-V]
[-h]
[-v logclass]
[-d]
[-e]
[-p [host:]port]
[-s device]
[-b baudrate]
[long-options]
DESCRIPTION
ncpd is the daemon which handles the serial link to your Psion.
It listens at port 7501 for local connections and provides
basic PLP/NCP services for plpnfsd and plpftp. It autoconnects
to the psion, even after unplugging/switching off therefore it
can run always in background (if you have a spare serial-device)
OPTIONS
- -V, --version
-
Display the version and exit
- -h, --help
-
Display a short help text and exit.
- -e, --autoexit
-
Exit automatically, if the device is disconnected. Furthermore, use the
current tty as I/O device. This option is intended for starting ncpd on
demand using mgetty's auto-detect function. (A patch for mgetty is needed
for that).
- -v, --verbose=logclass
-
Increase the logging level of the program. the possible values for logclass
are:
-
- nl
-
Set NCP debug level to LOG
- nd
-
Set NCP debug level to DEBUG
- ll
-
Set Link debug level to LOG
- ld
-
Set Link debug level to DEBUG
- pl
-
Set Packet debug level to LOG
- pd
-
Set Packet debug level to DEBUG
- ph
-
Set Packet debug level to HANDSHAKE
- m
-
Set overall debug level to verbose
- all
-
Turn on all the above logging on.
- -d, --dontfork
-
Do not background the daemon.
- -p, --port=[host:]port
-
Specify the port to listen on - by default the value for the host is
127.0.0.1 and the value for the port is looked up in /etc/services using
the key
psion/tcp.
If it is not found there, a builtin value of 7501
is used.
- -s, --serial=device
-
Specify the serial device to use to connect to the Psion - this defaults to
/dev/ttyS0
- -b, --baudrate=baudrate
-
Specify the baud rate to use for the serial connection. If the word
auto
is specified, ncpd cycles through baudrates of 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200
and 9600 baud. Default setting is auto.
