|
.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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va portno
|
|
locater can be used to decide which port to use for devices that have
|
|
multiple external ports.
