NAME

       rsattach - Start a Rose interface

SYNOPSIS

       rsattach [-i inetaddr] [-v] port

DESCRIPTION

       Rsattach  takes	many  of  the  parameters  for	the port from the rsports(5) file. The port argument is the name of a port as given in the
       rsports(5) file.

       Rsattach tries to find the free Rose device in the system. The device name checked is rose0. If no free Rose device is available  an  error
       is generated and the program terminates.

OPTIONS

       -i inetaddr     Set the internet address of the interface. This address may either be a dotted decimal address or a host name.

       -v	       Display the version.

SEE ALSO

       rose(4), rsparms(4), rsports(5), ifconfig(8).

BUGS

       The  program  can be run many times with the same arguments creating many instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good
       idea.

NAME

       AF_ROSE - Rose amateur packet radio protocol family

DESCRIPTION

       Rose  is  a  protocol used extensively by radio amateurs. The Linux Rose protocol family permits access to these protocols via the standard
       networking socket metaphor.

       The Rose protocol layer only supports connected mode.

       The only mode of operation is connected mode which is the mode used for a socket of type SOCK_SEQPACKET (stream sockets are  not  available
       in  Rose).   This  requires that the user ensures output data is suitably packetised, and that input data is read a packet at a time into a
       buffer of suitable size.

       Rose addresses consist of 10 digits. These are encoded into a sockaddr_rose structure which is provided to the relevant system calls.

       Rose has some unusual properties. Notably in a multi-user system an AX.25 address is often associated with a user, and some users  may  not
       have such an association. a set of ioctl calls are provided to manage an association table.

       Rose  supports the following socket options for SOL_ROSE. ROSE_T1 is the T11/T21 timer in 1/10ths of a second, ROSE_T2 is the T12/T22 timer
       in 1/10ths of a second. ROSE_T3, is the T13/T23 timer in 1/10ths of a second.  It is possible for an application to request that  the  Rose
       layer return the Rose header as well as the application data, this is done via the ROSE_HDRINCL socket option.
