NAME
       gpsdctl - tool for sending commands to gpsd over its control socket

SYNOPSIS
       gpdsctl action device

DESCRIPTION
       This is a tool for sending an instance of gpsd commands over its
       control socket to add or remove devices from the daemon's device list.
       It is not intended to be called by users, but rather by the Linux
       hotplug system and similar facilities.

       The action argument may be "add" or "remove". If no daemon instance is
       running when an add is requested, this program will launch one.

       The "device" argument should be the pathname of a device. A device on
       the list will be opened to read sensor data whenever a client requests
       a watch.

       Two environment variables are interpreted.  GPSD_SOCKET sets the
       location of the control socket. It defaults to /var/run/gpsd.sock.

       GPSD_OPTIONS may be a list of options to be passed to gpsd when this
       tool launches it. It defaults to an empty string.
