NAME

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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