NAME

       rigmem - backup and restore memory of radio transceivers and receivers

SYNOPSIS

       rigmem [OPTION]... [COMMAND]...

DESCRIPTION

       Backup  and restore memory of radio transceivers and receivers.  rigmem accepts commands from the command
       line only.

       Keep in mind that Hamlib is BETA level software.  While a lot of  backend  libraries  lack  complete  rig
       support,  the  basic functions are usually well supported.  The API may change without publicized notice,
       while an advancement of the minor version (e.g. 1.1.x to 1.2.x) indicates such a change.

       Please report bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail  address  given  in  the  REPORTING  BUGS  section.
       Patches and code enhancements are also welcome.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       Here is a summary of the supported options:

       -m, --model=id
              Select radio model number. See model list (use 'rigctl -l').

       -r, --rig-file=device
              Use device as the file name of the port the radio is connected.  Often a serial port, but could be
              a USB to serial adapter.  Typically /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0, etc.

       -s, --serial-speed=baud
              Set serial speed to baud rate. Uses maximum serial speed from  rig  backend  capabilities  as  the
              default.

       -c, --civaddr=id
              Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig. Only useful for Icom rigs.
              NB: the id is in decimal notation, unless prefixed by 0x, in which case it is hexadecimal.

       -C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]*
              Set config parameter.  e.g. stop_bits=2
              Use -L option of rigctl for a list.

       -x, --xml
              Use XML format instead of CSV, if libxml2 is available.

       -v, --verbose
              Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).

       -h, --help
              Show a summary of these options and exit.

       -V, --version
              Show version of rigmem and exit.

       NOTE!  Some  options  may  not  be implemented by a given backend and will return an error.  This is most
       likely to occur with the --set-conf option.

COMMANDS

       Backup and restore are supported for basic CSV file and XML format where available.

       Please note that the backend for the radio to be controlled, or the radio itself  may  not  support  some
       commands. In that case, the operation will fail with a Hamlib error message.

       Here is a summary of the supported commands:

       save   Save all the content of memory in a CSV (or XML) file given as an argument to the command.

       load   Load the content into all the memory from a CSV (or XML) file given as an argument to the command.

       save_parm
              Save all the parameters of the radio in a CSV (or XML) file given as an argument to the command.

       load_parm
              Load the parameters of the radio from a CSV (or XML) file given as an argument to the command.

       clear  This  is  a very DANGEROUS command, as it will completely clear out everything you have programmed
              in the memory of your radio. ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Use at your own risk!

DIAGNOSTICS

       The -v, --version option allows different levels of diagnostics to be output to stderr and correspond  to
       -v for BUG, -vv for ERR, -vvv for WARN, -vvvv for VERBOSE, or -vvvvv for TRACE.

       A  given  verbose  level is useful for providing needed debugging information to the email address below.
       For example, TRACE output shows all of the values sent to and received  from  the  radio  which  is  very
       useful for radio backend library development and may be requested by the developers.

EXIT STATUS

       rigmem exits with:
       0 if all operations completed normally;
       1 if there was an invalid command line option or argument;
       2 if an error was returned by Hamlib.
       3 the Hamlib backend has no memory support implemented and/or
         the rig has no memory access available.
