Changes since tio v1.39:
* Add config support for log-strip
* Add config support for hex-mode
* Rename --hex to --hex-mode
* Fix completion for -e, --local-echo
* Ignore newlines in hex output
* Fix newline in warning_printf()
* Fix ansi_printf_raw() in no color mode
* Enter non-interactive mode when piping to tio
Add support for a non interactive mode which allows other application to
pipe data to tio which then forwards the data to the connected serial
device.
Non ineractive means that tio does not react to interactive key commands
in the incoming stream. This allows users to pipe binary data directly
to the connected serial device.
Example use:
$ cat commands.txt | tio /dev/ttyUSB0
* Also strip backspace from log
To make log strip feature consistent so that we remove all unprintable
control characters and escape sequences.
* Socket code cleanup
* Cleanup man page
* Rename --log-filename to --log-file
Yin Fengwei:
* Allow strip escape sequence characters from log file
Changes since tio v1.38:
* Improve key command response for local echo and timestamp
* Fix invalid hex character error message
* Make sure only matched config section is parsed
* Add support for "disable" keyword in config file
* Unify error message formating
* Cleanup list devices code
* Fix command-line tty-device|config parsing
Allow user to add options on both sides of the provided config argument.
For example:
$ tio -b 9600 am64-evm -e
Before, tio only allowed adding arguments after the config argument.
Implemented as simple as possible by introducing two stage option parsing.
* Update bash completion
* Add support for IPv4 and IPv6 network sockets
Add support for IPv4 and IPv6 network sockets via socket syntax
"inet:<port>" and "inet6:<port>" respectively.
For example, to listen and redirect serial device I/O to a host bound
IPv4 socket simply do:
$ tio /dev/ttyUSB0 --socket inet:4444
To connect do e.g.:
$ nc 127.0.0.1 4444
Likewise, for IPv6 do:
$ tio /dev/ttyUSB0 --socket inet6:4444
To connect do e.g.:
$ nc ::1 4444
If port is 0 or no port is provided default port 3333 is used.
* Fix tio deleting unix socket file
If tio has a unix file socket open, a second tio instance of tio may
delete the socket file. This change fixes so that it will not be deleted
and tio will instead error and complain about conflicting socket file.
* Rework color option
Rework the color option to support setting ANSI color code values
ranging from 0..255 or "none" for no color or "list" to print a list of
available ANSI colors codes.
Also, disables color when piping.
* Remove print of hex mode status at startup
* Remove newline option in hex mode
* Fix configfile memory leaks
* Remove command-line option inconsistencies
Optional arguments, as parsed by the getopt_long mechanism, are
inherently inconsistent with how you define required arguments.
To avoid confusion we decide to avoid this inconsistency by replacing
optional options with additional options with required argmuments.
* Replace '1' with 'enable' in config files
* Convert errors to warnings
g0mb4:
* Extended hexadecimal mode.
While in hex mode (ctrl-t h) you can output hexadecimal values.
E.g.: to send 0x0A you have to type 0A (always 2 characters).
Added option -x, --hex to start in hexadecimal mode.
Added option --newline-in-hex to interpret newline characters in hex mode.
This is disabled by default, because, in my opinion, hex stream is
fundamentally different from text, so a "new line" is meaningless in this
context.
=== tio v1.38 ===
Changes since tio v1.37:
* Redirect error messages to stderr
* Improve help and man page
* Mention config file in --help
* Fix running without config file
* Fix config file error messages
* Redirect error messages to stderr
* Add repology packaging status
* Fix parsing of default settings
Default configuration file settings were not parsed in case a section
was matched. Now we make sure that the default (unnamed) settings are
always parsed.
* Append to existing log file (no truncation)
* Add socket info to show configuration
* Print socket info at startup
* Fix socket option parsing
Peter Collingbourne:
* Match user input against config section names if pattern matching was unsuccessful.
This allows for better config file ergonomics if the user has a diverse
set of serial devices as the name does not need to be specified in
the config file twice.
* Add support for external control via a Unix domain socket.
This feature allows an external program to inject output into and
listen to input from a serial port via a Unix domain socket (path
specified via the -S/--socket command line flag, or the socket
config file option) while tio is running. This is useful for ad-hoc
scripting of serial port interactions while still permitting manual
control. Since many serial devices (at least on Linux) get confused
when opened by multiple processes, and most commands do not know
how to correctly open a serial device, this allows a more convenient
usage model than directly writing to the device node from an external
program.
Any input from clients connected to the socket is sent on the serial
port as if entered at the terminal where tio is running (except that
ctrl-t sequences are not recognized), and any input from the serial
port is multiplexed to the terminal and all connected clients.
Sockets remain open while the serial port is disconnected, and writes
will block.
Example usage 1 (issue a command):
echo command | nc -UN /path/to/socket > /dev/null
Example usage 2 (use the expect command to script an interaction):
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout -1
log_user 0
spawn nc -UN /path/to/socket
set uart $spawn_id
send -i $uart "command1\n"
expect -i $uart "prompt> "
send -i $uart "command2\n"
expect -i $uart "prompt> "
lexaone:
* fix for using option 'log' without 'log-filename' in config file
=== tio v1.37 ===
Changes since tio v1.36:
* Make libinih a fallback dependency
This means that in case meson does not find libinih it will
automatically clone libinih and include it in the build.
The libinih library is reconfigured to be statically built so that no
shared object will be installed.
Sylvain LAFRASSE:
* Fix timestamp parsing in INI conf
* Factorize timestamp parsing to be coherent with command line format in
configuration file.
=== tio v1.36 ===
Changes since tio v1.35:
* Add support for defaults in config file
If no section name is specified the configuration will be considered the
default one.
This allows to set e.g. a default color code for sections which do not
configure a color code.
* Handle SIGHUP
Handle SIGHUP so that the registered exit handlers are called to restore
the terminal back to its orignal state.
* Add color configuration support
* Bypass unused result warnings
* Force dependency on libinih
Configuration file support is considered a mandatory feature.
* Update headers
* Update AUTHORS
* Update man page
* Move string_to_long() to misc.c
* Update CircleCI config
* Update tio gif
* Update README
* Update LICENSE date
* Remove redundant COPYING file
Liam Beguin:
* Document configuration file options
* Add support for a configuration file
* misc: add _unused macro
Some parameters are expected to be unused.
Add a basic macro to mute these compiler warnings.
* options: expose string_to_long()
Expose string_to_long() so that other source files can use it.
Changes since tio v1.34:
* Add support for automatically generated log filename
Automatically generate log filename if none is provided.
The auto generated file name is on the form:
"tio_DEVICE_YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.log"
* Add support for configurable timestamp format
Also changes default timestamp format from ISO8601 to classic 24-hour
format as this is assumed to be the format that most users would prefer.
And reintroduces strict but optional ISO8601 format.
This feature allows to easily add more timestamp formats in the future.
* Reintroduce asm-generic/ioctls.h
It is needed for ppc builds.
* Add macro hack to workaround older buggy glibc
Robey Pointer:
* Add support for high bps on OS X
Changes since tio v1.33:
* Fix setspeed2 compilation
* Only apply color formatting when using color option
To help the color blind who may use custom terminal foreground /
background colors.
* Update README
* Add '-c, --color' option
Allow user to select which ANSI color code to use to colorize the tio
text. To successfully set the color the color code must be in the range
0..255.
If color code is negative tio will print all available ANSI colors.
The default color is changed to bold white to make tio defaults usable
for most users, including color blind users.
* Fix setspeed2 check
* Fix meson header check string
* Reintroduce long timestamp format
But make the timestamp format RFC3339 compliant instead. The RFC states:
NOTE: ISO 8601 defines date and time separated by "T".
Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of
readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by
(say) a space character.
This way we keep the information specified by ISO 8601 but make it more
human readable which is better for the console output.
* Update version year
Sylvain LAFRASSE:
* Fix TTY device listing on Darwin. (#136)
* Fix TCGETS2 search on Darwin.
Changes since tio v1.32:
* Show auto connect status in show configuration
* Use '#pragma once' in all headers
* Improve printed output
Get rid of inconsistencies in the printed output (error printing,
colors, etc.).
Prepare for user configurable color.
* Rename option -i to -L
* Shorten timestamp
* Shorten timestamp description
We do not need the date part of the timestamp. It simply takes up too
much precious line space. In case of logging to file, one can easily
conclude the date from the file date information.
* Replace Travis with circleCI
* Replace autotools with meson
To introduce much simpler build configuration which is also easier to
maintain.
* Add list serial devices feature
For convenience, add a --list-devices option which lists the available
serial devices.
* Cleanup: Use dot notation for default options struct
* Update AUTHORS
* Add command to show version
The key sequence ctrl-t v will now show the version of tio.
* Align format of timestamps
* Add Sylvain as official co-maintainer
Sylvain LAFRASSE:
* Add '-t' option description for time stamping.
* Add description for time stamping.
* Resolved tio/tio#84: Added timestamps in log file if enabled.
attila-v:
* Refine timestamps with milliseconds and ISO-8601 format (#129).
* Show milliseconds too in the timestamp (#114) and log file (#124)
* Change timestamp format to ISO-8601.
Yin Fengwei:
* Output newline on stdout with hex print mode
This is to fix the issue #104. The timestamp will always be
printed at the beginning of line:
[10:25:56] Switched to hexadecimal mode
0d 0a 0d [10:25:57] 41 43 52 4e 3a 5c 3e 0d 0a 0d [10:25:58] 41
is changed to:
[12:34:56] 45 72 72 6f 72 3a 20 49 6e 76 61 6c 69 64 20
[12:34:56] 41 43 52 4e 3a 5c 3e
[12:34:56] 41 43 52 4e 3a 5c 3e
[12:34:57] 41 43 52 4e 3a 5c 3e 6c 73
Jakob Haufe:
* Make comparison POSIX compliant
String comparison with == is not POSIX compliant and can fail with e.g.
dash.
Henrik Brix Andersen:
* Add bash completion of tty devices.
* Add -t/--timestamp to bash completion script.
Henner Zeller:
* Local echo: show character by character even if stdout buffered.
Björn Stenberg:
* Show error when failing to open a tty
Alban Bedel:
* Fix out of tree builds
Out of tree builds are currently broken because $(top_srcdir)src/include
is not in the search path. In tree builds are working because autconf add
$(top_builddir)/src/include to the search path for the generated config.h.
As $(top_builddir) and $(top_srcdir) are identical during in tree builds
the search path still end up beeing somehow correct.
To fix this add -I$(srcdir)/include to the CPPFLAGS in Makefile.am.
Fabrice Fontaine:
* src/setspeed2.c: fix redefinition of termio
Include ioctls.h and termbits.h from asm-generic instead of asm to avoid
build failures.
Erik Moqvist
* Exit if output speed cannot be set.
Lars Kellogg-Stedman:
* fflush() after putchar() for print_hex and print_normal
In order for local echo to work properly, we have to either call
fflush(stdout) after every character or just disable line buffering.
This change calls fflush() after putchar().
* Disable line buffering in stdout
In order for local echo to work properly, we have to either call
fflush(stdout) after every character or just disable line buffering.
This change uses setbuf(stdout, NULL) to do the latter.
George Stark:
* dont show line state if ioctl failed
* add serial lines manual control
arichi:
* Flush every local echo char
Flush stdout at every char in case it
happens to be buffered.
Mariusz Midor:
* Newline: handle booth NL and CR
Flag ONLCRNL expects code \n after press Enter, but on some systems \r
is send instead.
"tio" is a simple TTY terminal application which features a straightforward
commandline interface to easily connect to TTY devices for basic input/output.
