SYNOPSIS

9       axctl [-v] port dest src window|t1|t2|t3|n2|idle|paclen|kill [parm]

DESCRIPTION

12       The  axctl  command  is  designed  to  be a multi-function command that
13       allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25  protocol
14       layer  for existing AX.25 connections. The connection is uniquely iden‐
15       tified via the combination of port,  destination  callsign  and  source
16       callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the param‐
17       eters, or abort the connection.
18
19       Many of the options are similar to those found in axparms  and  perform
20       the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each invokation
21       of axctl.
