17 This program collects fixes from gpsd and logs them to standard output
18 in GPX, an XML profile for track logging.
19 The output may be composed of multiple tracks. A new track is created
21 if there's no fix written for an interval specified by the -i,
22 --interval and defaulting to 5 seconds.
23 gpxlogger can use any of the export methods that gpsd supports. For a
25 list of these methods, use the -l, --exports. To force the method, give
26 the -e, --export one of the colon-terminated method names from the -l,
27 --exports table.
28
30 -?, -h, --help
31 Print a summary of options and then exit.
32 -d, --daemonize
34 Run as a daemon in background. It requires the -f, --output option,
35 which directs output to a specified logfile.
36 -D LVL, --debug LVL
38 Sets the debug level; it is primarily for troubleshooting. It
39 enables various progress messages to standard error.
40 -e METHOD, --export METHOD
42 If D-Bus support is available on the host, GPSD is configured to
43 use it, and -e dbus, --export dbus is specified, this program
44 listens to DBUS broadcasts from gpsd via org.gpsd.fix.
45 With -e sockets, or if sockets is the method defaulted to, you may
47 give a server-port-device specification as arguments.
48 The sockets default is to all devices on the localhost, using the
50 default GPSD port 2947. An optional argument to any client may
51 specify a server to get data from. A colon-separated suffix is
52 taken as a port number. If there is a second colon-separated
53 suffix, that is taken as a specific device name to be watched.
54 However, if the server specification contains square brackets, the
55 part inside them is taken as an IPv6 address and port/device
56 suffixes are only parsed after the trailing bracket. Possible cases
57 look like this:
58 localhost:/dev/ttyS1
60 Look at the default port of localhost, trying both IPv4 and
61 IPv6 and watching output from serial device 1.
62 example.com:2317
64 Look at port 2317 on example.com, trying both IPv4 and IPv6.
65 71.162.241.5:2317:/dev/ttyS3
67 Look at port 2317 at the specified IPv4 address, collecting
68 data from attached serial device 3.
69 [FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210]:2317:/dev/ttyS5
71 Look at port 2317 at the specified IPv6 address, collecting
72 data from attached serial device 5.
73 With -e shm, --export shm this program will listen to the local
75 gpsd using shared memory.
76 -i SECONDS, --interval SECONDS
78 A new track is created if there's no fix written for an interval of
79 SECONDS. Defaulting to 5 seconds.
80 -l, --exports
82 List all possible options for -e, --export.
83 -m MINMOVE, --minmove MINMOVE
85 Sets a minimum move distance in meters (it may include a fractional
86 decimal part). Motions shorter than this will not be logged.
87 -r, --reconnect
89 Retry when GPSd loses the fix. Without -r, gpxlogger would quit in
90 this case.
91 -V, --version
93 Dump the package version and exit.
