NAME
xastir_udp_client - send simple messages to xastir for APRS(tm)
network.
SYNOPSIS
xastir_udp_client <hostname> <port> <callsign> <passcode> {-identify |
[-to_rf] <message>}
DESCRIPTION
xastir_udp_client sends packets into the UDP listening port of an
enabled xastir instance.
EXAMPLES
xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode> "APRS Packet
Goes Here"
Currently that will inject the packet into Xastir's decoding routines
and send it to any TCP-connected clients. It will also igate it to the
INET if you have igating enabled. It will send the packet out the RF
ports as third-party packets only if you add the "-to_rf" flag after
the passcode like this:
xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode> -to_rf "APRS
Packet"
The UDP client is useful for generating and injecting APRS packets from
external scripts. It can also be used to fetch the callsign of the
remote xastir server by using the -identify flag:
xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 <callsign> <passcode> -identify
NOTES
This is a very simple utility that provides no validation of message
content.
