catty project is a small utility to write to and read from a serial tty device. You can use it in scripts, or directly writing some text to its stdin.
With catty you can add in a few seconds of serial communication to your shell scripts.
Build:
Simply launch the tiny build script:
./Build
I personally tried to compile catty (with success) under the following platforms:
- Linux Kernel 2.4.32
binutils 2.16
gcc 2.95.3
glibc 2.2.5
- Cygwin
cygwin emulation engine 1.5.19-4,
binutils 20050610-1
gcc 3.4.4-1
If you want, please send me a tiny report of your successful compilation, *IF AND ONLY IF* the compilation environment is strongly different from the ones listed above. The report should be in the same form of the reports above.
Installation:
catty is a tool desiged for experts:
you'll have to manually copy it in the
best place for your needs (/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or ~/bin).
Usage:
Usage is displayed launching catty with no (valid) args.
