.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
driver provides support for a device-pair termed a
|
||||
.Em null modem pair .
|
||||
A null modem pair is a pair of character devices.
|
||||
Each device provides to a process an interface identical
|
||||
to that described in
|
||||
.Xr tty 4 .
|
||||
However, whereas most other devices which provide the
|
||||
interface described in
|
||||
driver provides two
|
||||
.Xr tty 4
|
||||
have a hardware device of some sort behind them, the
|
||||
devices connected
|
||||
by a virtual "null modem" cable.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If either of the two tty devices have the CDSR_OFLOW bit
|
||||
("stty dsrflow")
|
||||
set in their line discipline, the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
device has, instead, another process manipulating
|
||||
it through the other half of the pair.
|
||||
That is, anything written on the first device is
|
||||
given to the second device as input and anything written
|
||||
on the second device is presented as input on the first
|
||||
device.
|
||||
device will emulate the speed configured in the
|
||||
.Xr termios 4
|
||||
settings.
|
||||
The speed emulation works independently in the two directions,
|
||||
controlled by the slower ends termios settings (c_ispeed, c_ospeed,
|
||||
CS5...CS8, CSTOPB and PARENB).

The
