NAME

6       axgetput  -  upload  or  download files via AX.25 / axspawn Linux login
7       session.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] [-v] [-h] [?] filename
11       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] -s [-v] [-h] [?] [filename]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       -b blocksize
15              Set the blocksize (frame length) of transmitted data.   Defaults
16              to  256  bytes  which matches typical AX.25 network confurations
17              best.
18
19       -i     Compute CRC checksum only.
20
21       .B -s  Indicates input from a stream.  This option is available only if
22              STDIN  is a pipe.  The filename argument may be omitted if -s is
23              given. The length of the file need not to be known.
24
25       -v     print version and exit.
26
27       -h, ?  print usage and exit.
28
29       axgetput is the actual name of the program. You execute for e.g.   bget
30       or bput while axgetput is the common program to which bget and bput are
31       linked to.  axgetput  autodetermines  which  operation  mode  the  user
32       desires.
33
34       axgetput  sets  the  pty to be 8bit clean (thus enables binary mode for
35       the file transfer). It requires that the user is logged in through axs‐
36       pawn(8).
37
38       I. #BIN Protocol
39
40       bget  is used for downloading a file on this system from the unix login
41       shell via his ax25 session to his packet-radio  terminal  program.  The
42       download  "protocol"  is  the  "#BIN"  standard known from packet radio
43       mailboxes.
44
45       bput does it the other way round: with this comand, the user may upload
46       a file to this computer.
47
48       The  #BIN  protocol  provides a CRC consistency check after the file is
49       transfered. The transfer of the file modification time is part  of  the
50       #BIN protocol.
51
52
53       II. YAPP Protocol
54
55       yget or yput is reserverd for the yapp protocol, which is not supported
56       in this version.
57
58
59       II. DIDADIT Protocol
60
61       rget or rput is reserverd for the didadit protocol, which is  not  sup‐
62       ported in this version.
63
64       Anyone like to implement yapp and didadit protcols?
