NAME

     irdaattach -- attach serial lines to IrDA frame driver

SYNOPSIS

     irdaattach [-d dongle] [-fHhlmnp] ttyname

DESCRIPTION

     irdaattach is used to assign a tty line to an IrDA frame level driver.  The following operands are supported by irdaattach:

     -d dongle	   Sets the dongle type.  The following dongles are supported:

		   none      No dongle

		   tekram    Tekram IR-210B

		   jeteye    Extended Systems JetEye

		   actisys   ACTiSYS IR-220L

		   actisys+  ACTiSYS IR-220L+

		   litelink  Parallax LiteLink

		   girbil    Greenwich GIrBIL

		   The default is none.

     -f 	   Print the name of the IrDA frame device that should be used to access the frames.

     -H 	   Turn on DTR/CTS flow control.  By default, no flow control is done.

     -h 	   Turn on RTS/CTS flow control.  By default, no flow control is done.

     -l 	   Turn on the CLOCAL flag, making it possible to run SLIP on a cable without modem control signals (e.g. DTR, DSR, DCD).

     -m 	   Maintain modem control signals after closing the line.  Specifically, this disables HUPCL.

     -n 	   Do not detach from invoking tty.

     -p 	   Print process id to file.

     ttyname	   Specifies the name of the tty device.  Ttyname should be a string of the form 'ttyXX', or '/dev/ttyXX'.

     Only the super-user may attach a network interface.

     The frame driver is detached by killing the irdaattach process.

EXAMPLES

	   irdaattach tty00
	   ircomm -Y -d `irdaattach -p -f /dev/tty02`

DIAGNOSTICS

     tried to alter an interface's configuration.
