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.
