Re: [Flightgear-devel] new man pages

[Curtis L. O. <cu...@fl...>]

I don't know if this is helpful, but here is what I have in the
comments of options.cxx:

// Parse I/O channel option
//
// Format is "--protocol=medium,direction,hz,medium_options,..."
//
//   protocol = { native, nmea, garmin, fgfs, rul, pve, etc. }
//   medium = { serial, socket, file, etc. }
//   direction = { in, out, bi }
//   hz = number of times to process channel per second (floating
//        point values are ok.
//
// Serial example "--nmea=serial,dir,hz,device,baud" where
// 
//  device = OS device name of serial line to be open()'ed
//  baud = {300, 1200, 2400, ..., 230400}
//
// Socket exacmple "--native=socket,dir,hz,machine,port,style" where
// 
//  machine = machine name or ip address if client (leave empty if server)
//  port = port, leave empty to let system choose
//  style = tcp or udp
//
// File example "--garmin=file,dir,hz,filename" where
// 
//  filename = file system file name

Also, have a look at docs-mini/README.IO

Regards,

Curt.
