IRDAATTACH(8)

NAME
irdaattach - attach 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.
