DESCRIPTION

       ttysrv is the backend for rconsole.  It connects to the serial port, handles the log  file
       and waits for connections from rconsole to view what's happening on the serial console.

              supported.

       -l log The logfile to write to. If not set then no log is kept.

       -b baud
              Set the baud rate to talk to the port at. Defaults to 9600.

              Set the parity for the serial port. Defaults to none.

       -w wordsize
