AXPORTS(5)

NAME
axports - AX.25 port configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

Axports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the physical AX.25 ports that are to be used. When dealing with an AX.25 utility such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port number. The number is a reference to a line number within axports, port one being the first line etc. The information on each line contains enough information to bind the command to a particular physical AX.25 interface, this binding is done by matching the callsign on the line in axports with the callsign of the port set by axattach.

Each line has the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

    callsign speed window description

The field descriptions are:

    callsign
        the callsign of the physical interface to bind to.

    speed
        this is the speed of interface, this field is currently unused.

    window
        the default window size for this interface.

    description
        a free format description of this interface, this field is currently unused.

BUGS

The file format of axports is likely to change in the future to hold more information in an extensible manner.
