PALMSRV(4)PALMSRV(4)NAMEpalmsrv - packet link to Palm device on serial connection
SYNOPSIS
palm/palmsrv [ -D ] [ -d device ] [ -s speed ]
DESCRIPTION
Palmsrv serves packet link connections to a Palm device connected on
the given device (default: /dev/eia0) at the given speed (default:
57600 baud). Client applications open /chan/palmsrv to obtain a con‐
nection. Each write must contain the data portion of a single Packet
Assembly-Disassembly Protocol message containing a Desklink protocol
request. If the device rejects the request, the write returns a diag‐
nostic; otherwise, a subsequent read will retrieve the reply.
The server can be shut down by writing the text exit to the file
/chan/palmsrv:
echo -n exit >/chan/palmsrv
