DESCRIPTION

14       Cwdaemon  is  a  small daemon which uses the pc parallel or serial port
15       and a simple transistor switch to output morse code  to  a  transmitter
16       from a text message sent to it via udp port 6789.

OPTIONS

20       -d <device> Use a different device for keying.
21
22       -h Show summary of options.
23
24       -n Do not fork and print debug information to stdout.
25
26       -p <port> Use a different UDP port number (default = 6789).
27
28       -P <priority> Set cwdaemon priority, -20 to 20 (default = 0).
29
30       -s <speed> Set speed, value larger than 4 (default = 24).
31
32       -t <time> Set PTT delay, value from 0 to 50 ms (default = 0).
33
34       -v <volume> Set volume for soundcard output.
35
36       -V Output version information and exit.
37

DEVICES

44       Any  serial  device that supports getting and setting the modem control
45       lines can be used.  On Linux, ttyS0, ttyS1, etc. will work.  On FreeBSD
46       these  devices  are known as ttyd0, ttyd1, etc.  On OpenBSD, these same
47       devices are known as tty00, tty01, etc., but may vary with platform.
48
49       For parallel ports on Linux try parport0 (default) or parport1, and  on
50       FreeBSD,  ppi0 (default), ppi1, etc.  OpenBSD does not support parallel
51       port operation, and defaults to 'tty00'.
52
53       For completeness, a  'null'  device  is  provided.   This  device  does
54       exactly nothing (no rig keying, no ssb keying, etc.).
55
56

SOUND DEVICES

58       Sdevice should be one of 'c' (console), 's' (soundcard), 'b' (both), or
59       'n' (none).  The default is console, which is the PC speaker.
