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

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.
