The UNIX tip Command
|

The UNIX tip Command
|
|
|
|
The UNIX tip command is a very simple terminal emulator. It does not
|
|
support scripting or specific terminal emulation, but it does provide
|
|
a mechanism to communicate with a target via an RS-232 link, and
|
|
permit files to be downloaded.
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
|
|
» Create the file ~/.tiprc containing:
|
|
|
|
force=\377
|
|
raisechar=\377
|
|
|
|
» Invoke tip and specify the I/O port.
|
|
|
|
% tip -9600 device
|
|
|
|
where device is the I/O port that you wish to use in order to
|
|
communicate with the Target.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately there isn't much standardization of device
|
|
names across different UNIX vendors, so you will probably have to ask
|
|
around a little in order to find out the names of the serial ports on
|
|
your system. Here are some values that I am aware of.
|
|
|
|
VendorPort names
|
|
Sun Microsystemsttya..ttyb..etc
|
|
Silicon Graphicsttyd1..ttyd2..etc
|
|
|
|
Sending Files
|
|
|
|
Normally everything you type is sent directly to the target. However,
|
|
if you start a line with '~' it is interpreted as a direct command for tip.
|
|
For example, to download a file you type:
|
|
|
|
~ filename
|
|
|
|
That is, tilde, followed by '' followed by the name of the file
|
|
that you wish to download.
|
|
|
|
To obtain a complete list of the commands available type '~?'.
|
|
tip also maintains a large number of variables that
|
|
control its operation. You may display the state of these variables
|
|
by typing '~s all'.
