SYNOPSIS

       ttysrv  [-o option] [-s sock] [-l log] -t tty [-b baud] [-p parity] [-w
       wordsize] [-i pidfile]

DESCRIPTION

       ttysrv is the backend for rconsole.  It connects to  the  serial  port,
       handles  the  log  file and waits for connections from rconsole to view
       what’s happening on the serial console.

OPTIONS

       -t tty Specify which device to connect to.

       -s sock

              on.

       -o option
              Specify any ttyios options to open the port with. Currently only
              nolocal is supported.

       -l log The logfile to write to. If not set then no log is kept.

       -b baud
              Set the baud rate to talk to the port at. Defaults to 9600.

       -p parity
              Set the parity for the serial port. Defaults to none.

       -w wordsize
              Set the word size for the serial port. Defaults to 8 bits.
