.Dt UCOM 4
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ucom
|
|
.Nd USB tty support
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device ucom"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ucom_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver attaches to USB modems, serial ports, and other devices that need
|
|
to look like a tty.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver shows a behavior like a
|
|
.Xr tty 4 .
|
|
This means that normal programs such as
|
|
.Xr tip 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr ppp 8
|
|
can be used to access the device.
|
|
.Sh Pulse Per Second (PPS) Timing Interface
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver can capture PPS timing information as defined in RFC 2783.
|
|
The API, accessed via
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 ,
|
|
is available on the tty device.
|
|
To use the PPS capture feature with
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8 ,
|
|
symlink the tty device to
|
|
.Va /dev/pps0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va hw.usb.ucom.pps_mode
|
|
sysctl configures the PPS capture mode.
|
|
It can be set in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr sysctl.conf 5 .
|
|
The following capture modes are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -offset "mmmm" -width "mmmm"
|
|
.It 0
|
|
Capture disabled (default).
|
|
.It 1
|
|
Capture pulses on the CTS line.
|
|
.It 2
|
|
Capture pulses on the DCD line.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was adopted from
|
|
.Nx
|
|
in March of 2002.
|
|
This manual page was adopted from
|
|
.Nx
|
|
by

.An Tom Rhodes Aq Mt trhodes@FreeBSD.org

in April 2002.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Prior to
|
|
.Fx 6.0
|
|
.Nm
|
|
created
|
|
.Pa /dev/ucom?
|
|
rather than the uniform device names created today.
|
|
Old scripts must be adjusted accordingly.
