NAME

       rigmem - backup and restore memory of radio transceivers and receivers

SYNOPSIS

       rigmem [-ahvVx] [-m id] [-r device] [-s baud] [-c id] [-C parm=val] [-p sep] command [file]

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  radio
       support, the basic functions are usually well supported.

       Please  report  bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail address given in the BUGS section below.  Patches
       and code enhancements sent to the same address are welcome.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax.  Short options that take an argument may have the
       value follow immediately or be separated by a space.  Long options starting with two dashes (‘-’) require
       an ‘=’ between the option and any argument.

       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 connected to the radio.

              Often a serial port, but could be a USB to  serial  adapter.   Typically  /dev/ttyS0,  /dev/ttyS1,
              /dev/ttyUSB0,  etc.  on  Linux, COM1, COM2, etc. on MS Windows.  The BSD flavors and Mac OS/X have
              their own designations.  See your system's documentation.

       -s, --serial-speed=baud
              Set radio serial speed to baud rate.

              Uses maximum serial speed from radio backend capabilities as the default.

       -c, --civaddr=id
              Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the radio.

              Only useful for Icom and some Ten-Tec radios.

              Note: The id is in decimal notation, unless prefixed by 0x, in which case it is hexadecimal.

       -C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]
              Set radio configuration parameter(s),  e.g.  stop_bits=2.

              Use the -L option of rigctl for a list of configuration parameters for a given model number.

       -p, --set-separator=sep
              Set character as column separator instead of the CSV comma.

              Some common alternatives are the vertical bar (pipe), ‘|’, semicolon, ‘;’, and colon, ‘:’.

       -a, --all
              Bypass mem_caps, apply to all fields of channel_t.

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

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

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

       load_parm file
              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, --verbose 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  radio  has  no  memory  access
              available.
