NAME

6       zerk - All purpose GREIS fitting
7

OPTIONS

9       zerk [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]

11       zerk -h
12
13       zerk -V

DESCRIPTION

16       zerk is an all purpose GREIS (GNSS Receiver External Interface
17       Specification) fitting. If you do not have a Javad GPS that speaks the
18       GREIS protocol then you can stop reading now.
19
20       This tool operates with your Javad GPS at a very low level. To
21       understand zerk you must first be familiar with your Javad GPS and the
22       documentation for the GREIS protocol. GREIS Guide
23       <https://www.javad.com/downloads/javadgnss/manuals/GREIS/GREIS_Reference_Guide.pdf>.
24
25       zerk can decode common GREIS messages, poll the GPS status, enable and
26       disable GPS features, and send user-generated commands to the GPS. It
27       can read GREIS messages from a file. It can read and write directly
28       through a serial device, or through a running gpsd instance.
29
30       zerk does not require root privileges, except maybe to access the
31       serial port in direct mode. It will run fine as root. Running under
32       sudo will cause loss of functionality.
33

OPTIONS

35       The program accepts the following options:
36
37       -?, -h
38           Makes zerk print a usage message and exit.

40       -c COMMAND
41           Send a text string to the GPS. Accepts one parameter, COMMAND, the
42           command string to send to the GPS. The string is sent verbatim,
43           except a newline is appended.
44
45       -d OPTION
46           Disable an option in the GPS. Accepts one parameter, OPTION, the
47           option to disable. zerk will exit after the GPS acknowledges the
48           command, unless the -W is given.
49
50           4HZ

93
94       -e OPTION
95           Enable an option in the GPS. Accepts one parameter, OPTION, the
96           option to enable. zerk will exit after the GPS acknowledges the
97           command, unless the -W is given. -e accepts the same OPTIONs as -d,
98           except the action is to enable the option.
99
100       -f FILE
101           Connect to a file or device. Accepts one parameter, FILE, the file

ARGUMENTS

181       By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on
182       localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to
183       any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]
184
185       For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the
186       gps(1) man page
187

ENVIRONMENT

189       Options can be placed in the ZERKOPTS environment variable. ZERKOPTS is
190       processed before the CLI options.
191

214
215           zerk -v 2 -w 5 server
216
