NAME

       cwdaemon - morse daemon for the serial or parallel port

SYNOPSIS

       cwdaemon [options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Cwdaemon  is  a small daemon which uses the pc parallel or serial port and a simple transistor switch to output morse code to a transmitter
       from a text message sent to it via udp port 6789.

OPTIONS

       -d <device> Use a different device for keying.

       -h Show summary of options.

       -n Do not fork and print debug information to stdout.

       -p <port> Use a different UDP port number (default = 6789).

       -P <priority> Set cwdaemon priority, -20 to 20 (default = 0).

       -s <speed> Set speed, value larger than 4 (default = 24).

       -t <time> Set PTT delay, value from 0 to 50 ms (default = 0).

       -v <volume> Set volume for soundcard output.

       -V Output version information and exit.

       -w <weight> Set weighting, value from -50 to 50 (default = 0).

       -x <sdevice> Set sound device to be used.

DEVICES

       Any serial device that supports getting and setting the modem control lines can be used.  On Linux, ttyS0, ttyS1, etc. will work.  On Free-
       BSD  these devices are known as ttyd0, ttyd1, etc.  On OpenBSD, these same devices are known as tty00, tty01, etc., but may vary with plat-
       form.

       For parallel ports on Linux try parport0 (default) or parport1, and on FreeBSD, ppi0 (default), ppi1, etc.  OpenBSD does not support paral-
       lel port operation, and defaults to 'tty00'.

       For completeness, a 'null' device is provided.  This device does exactly nothing (no rig keying, no ssb keying, etc.).

SOUND DEVICES

       Sdevice should be one of 'c' (console), 's' (soundcard), 'b' (both), or 'n' (none).  The default is console, which is the PC speaker.
