PALMSRV 4
NAME
palmsrv - packet link to Palm device on serial connection
SYNOPSIS
palm/palmsrv [
-D ] [
-d " device" ] [
-s " speed" ]
DESCRIPTION
Palmsrv serves packet link connections to a Palm device connected on the given
device (default:
"/dev/eia0" ) at the given
speed (default:
57600 baud).
Client applications open
/chan/palmsrv to obtain a connection.
Each write must contain the data portion of a single Packet Assembly-Disassembly Protocol message
containing a Desklink protocol request.
If the device rejects the request, the write returns a diagnostic; otherwise,
a subsequent read will retrieve the reply.
The server can be shut down by writing the text exit to the file /chan/palmsrv :
.EX echo -n exit >/chan/palmsrv
