Re: [Hamlib-developer] rigctld issue: Unexpected response from get_rig_info

[<gm...@bt...>]

Actually I've seen something similar with "set_mode ?" and "set_vfo ?".

philip@chinook:~/run$ echo "|\set_mode ?" | nc -w 1 localhost 4532
set_mode: ?|AM CW USB LSB RTTY FM WFM CWR RTTYR PKTLSB PKTUSB FM-D AM-D D-STAR
RPRT 0

philip@chinook:~/run$ echo "|\set_vfo ?" | nc -w 1 localhost 4532
set_vfo: ?|VFOA VFOB MEM
RPRT 0

Yep, that command is missing the separator(has an extra '\n' instead).

The response is a single record with internal newlines.
