OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below.
- -h
- Show summary of options.
- -i file
- Set the device to use for Port1. Default of /dev/ttyS0. If you want to listen on a TCP port then use the format :port. If there's a / in the string then it will always be treated as a device rather than a port to listen on.
- -o file
- Set the device to use for Port2. Default of /dev/ttyS1. If you want to connect to a TCP port then use the format host:port. Again if there's a / in the string then it will always be treated as a device.
- -b baud
- Specify baud rate for serial connections. Defaults to 19200.
- -s
- Make sersniff not copy data between the two ports - useful if a Y cable is being used for serial port sniffing for example.
- -n
- Don't do any port configuration.
- -w usecs
- How many microsecs to wait before reporting a delay
- -x
- Show hex characters instead of normal ASCII characters.
- -z
- Don't quit when an EOF character is received.
- -f
- Specify the format string that should be used to print hex characters.
