.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm Xten
|
|
|
|
|
is a command-line interface to the X-10 daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
When invoked with a one-letter house code (A-P) and a series of key/unit
|
|
|
|
|
codes as arguments, it requests the X-10 daemon to transmit a corresponding
|
|
|
|
|
series of X-10 packets. The X-10 daemon makes its best effort to ensure
|
|
|
|
|
that the packets are all transmitted correctly, though in general it is
|
|
|
|
|
not possible to tell whether the commands were actually received and
|
|
|
|
|
executed by the remote X-10 devices.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
When invoked with the single argument \-,
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm xten
|
|
|
|
|
enters an interactive mode in which a line is repeatedly read from the
|
|
|
|
|
standard input, sent to the X-10 daemon, and the one-line response from
|
|
|
|
|
the daemon printed on the standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.I
|
|
|
|
|
house
|
|
|
|
|
argument is a one-letter house code in the range A-P.
|
|
|
|
|
All the X-10 requests generated will refer to this house code.
|
|
|
|
|
Each
|
|
|
|
|
.I
|
|
|
|
|
key
|
|
|
|
|
is either a numeric unit code in the range 1-16, or else
|
|
|
|
|
is a string that specifies an X-10 function. The possible
|
|
|
|
|
function code strings are:

Each

|
|
|
.I
|
|
|
|
|
key
|
|
|
|
|
may be followed by an optional numeric
|
|
|
|
|
.I
|
|
|
|
|
cnt,
|
|
|
|
|
which specifies the number of packets that are to be sent with that
|
|
|
|
|
key code without gaps. If this argument is omitted, two packets
|
|
|
|
|
are transmitted. The ability to specify numbers of packets other than
|
|
|
|
|
two is used by the X-10
|
|
|
|

and
