Ugh. pkg/DESCR is an advertisement for your port, people. It seems to me that if I was writing a port for some peice of software that I liked, I would try to make it look nice to the rest of the world, who might never even use it otherwise.

The snooper is a serial line snooping tool used for snooping communication
|
|
between two devices that communicate with an RS232C serial line.
|
|
|
|
An typical machine configuration involving three computers is:
|
|
|
|
partyA a computer
|
|
partyB computer/modem/digi-cam/whatever
|
|
console The computer you are using to snoop
|
|
the communication between A and B.
|
|
|
|
Say, you would like to snoop the following configuration.
|
|
partyA ---cableAB--- partyB
|
|
In that case you should connect "console" between partyA and
|
|
cableAB, as follows:
|
|
partyA ---cableX--- console ---cableAB--- party B
|
|
cableX must be cross-cable (a cable to connect two computers).
|
|
|
|
Command-line options
|
|
% snooper [-options] dev0 dev1
|
|
-bBAUD specifies baud rate.
|
|
-u don't use uucp locking (questionable option)
|
|
dev0 name of serial device 0.
|
|
dev1 name of serial device 1.
