SYNOPSIS

9       mgnokiidev /dev/pts/?

DESCRIPTION

13       mgnokiidev is a tool from the Gnokii tool suite used to create the link
14       /dev/gnokii that points to a pseudo-tty (/dev/pts/?).
15
16
17       It is called after gnokiid has created a virtual modem that is attached
18       to  the  pty.   It's  operation  is  transparent  under normal usage as
19       gnokiid takes care of calling it when required.
20
21
22       Since mgnokiidev must modifiy files in /dev, it must be either  run  as
23       root  or  SUID root.  The latter is the preferred method.  Normally the
24       mgnokiidev binary is chmod 4750 and owned by root.gnokii.

27       Gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for

31       details including bugs specific to each  series  appear  in  the  files
32       Docs/README-3810 and Docs/README-6110 respectively.
