NAME

       axgetput - upload or download files via AX.25 / axspawn Linux login session.

SYNOPSIS

       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] [-v] [-h] [?] filename
       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] -s [-v] [-h] [?] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       -b blocksize
              Set the blocksize (frame length) of transmitted data.  Defaults to 256 bytes which matches typical
              AX.25 network confurations best.

       -i     Compute CRC checksum only.

       .B -s  Indicates input from a stream.  This option is available only if STDIN is a  pipe.   The  filename
              argument may be omitted if -s is given. The length of the file need not to be known.

       -v     print version and exit.

       -h, ?  print usage and exit.

       axgetput  is  the  actual  name  of the program. You execute for e.g.  bget or bput while axgetput is the
       common program to which bget and bput are linked to.  axgetput autodetermines which  operation  mode  the
       user desires.

       axgetput sets the pty to be 8bit clean (thus enables binary mode for the file transfer). It requires that
       the user is logged in through axspawn(8).

       I. #BIN Protocol

       bget is used for downloading a file on this system from the unix login shell via his ax25 session to  his
       packet-radio  terminal  program.  The  download "protocol" is the "#BIN" standard known from packet radio
       mailboxes.

       bput does it the other way round: with this command, the user may upload a file to this computer.

       The #BIN protocol provides a CRC consistency check after the file is transferred.  The  transfer  of  the
       file modification time is part of the #BIN protocol.

       II. YAPP Protocol

       yget or yput is reserved for the yapp protocol, which is not supported in this version.

       II. DIDADIT Protocol

       rget or rput is reserved for the didadit protocol, which is not supported in this version.

       Anyone like to implement yapp and didadit protcols?
