This is useful in order to get visual indication that something did not succeed: # Give it 5 seconds to run echo 'sjjjjjA.' > /dev/led/error random_program echo '0' > /dev/led/error If random_program takes more than 5 seconds or if it hangs, the LED will be turned on.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides generic support for handling LEDs, lamps and other
|
|
announciators.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The hardware driver must supply a function to turn the announciator on and off
|
|
and the device
|
|
.Va name
|
|
of the announciator relative "/dev/led/".
|
|
The
|
|
.Va priv
|
|
argument is passed back to this on/off function and can be used however
|
|
the hardware driver sees fit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The lamp can be controlled by opening and writing ascii strings to the
|
|
"/dev/led/bla" device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the following we will use this special notation to indicate the resulting
|
|
output of the announciator:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Ic *
|
|
The announciator is on for 1/10th secound.
|
|
.It Ic _
|
|
The announciator is off for 1/10th secound.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
State can be set directly, and since the change happens immediately,
|
|
it is possible to flash the announciator with very short periods and
|
|
synchronize it with program events.
|
|
It should be noted that there is a non-trivial overhead, so this may
|
|
not be usable for benchmarking or measuring short intervals.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Ic 0
|
|
Turn the announciator off immediately.
|
|
.It Ic 1
|
|
Turn the announciator on immediately.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Flashing can be set with a given period. The pattern continues endlessly.

.Pp
|
|
Three high-level commands are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Ic d%d
|
|
numbers. Each digit is blinked out at 1/10th second, zero as
|
|
ten pulses. Between digits a one second pause and after the last
|
|
digit a two second pause after which the sequence is repeated.
|
|
.It Ic s%s
|
|
string.
|
|
This gives full control over the announciator.
|
|
Letters 'A' ... 'J' turns the announciator on for from 1/10th to one full
|
|
second.
|
|
Letters 'a' ... 'j' turns the announciator off for 1/10th
|
|
to one full second.
|
|
Unless terminated with a '.', the sequence is immediately repeated.
|
|
.It Ic m%s
|
|

The sequence is repeated after a one second pause.
