One more question regarding this program. If I also need to remove the control characters from the string, can you help to add the additional logic

Thanks a lot

gpsdctl

GPSDCTL(8)							GPSD Documentation							GPSDCTL(8)

NAME

       gpsdctl - tool for sending commands to gpsd over its control socket

SYNOPSIS

       gpdsctl action device

DESCRIPTION

       This is a tool for sending an instance of gpsd commands over its control socket to add or remove devices from the daemon's device list. It
       is not intended to be called by users, but rather by the Linux hotplug system and similar facilities.

       The action argument may be "add" or "remove". If no daemon instance is running when an add is requested, this program will launch one.

       The "device" argument should be the pathname of a device. A device on the list will be opened to read sensor data whenever a client
       requests a watch.

       Two environment variables are interpreted.  GPSD_SOCKET sets the location of the control socket. It defaults to /var/run/gpsd.sock.

       GPSD_OPTIONS may be a list of options to be passed to gpsd when this tool launches it. It defaults to an empty string.

SEE ALSO

       gpsd(8), gpsctl(1), gps(1), libgps(3), libgpsd(3), gpsprof(1), gpsfake(1).
