AXCTL(8) Linux System Managers Manual AXCTL(8)
NAME
axctl - Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.
SYNOPSIS
axctl [-v] port dest src window|t1|t2|t3|n2|idle|paclen|kill [parm]
DESCRIPTION
The axctl command is designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol
layer for existing AX.25 connections. The connection is uniquely identified via the combination of port, destination callsign and source
callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the parameters, or abort the connection.
Many of the options are similar to those found in axparms and perform the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each invoka-
tion of axctl.
