NAME¶
alfred-gpsd - Alfred GPS distribution server
SYNOPSIS¶
alfred-gpsd [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
alfred-gpsd can be used to distribute GPS location information over your
batman-adv mesh network. It reads the current location from gpsd, or a fixed
location from the command line, and distributes this information via alfred.
By gathering this local information, any alfred-gpsd node can get location
information about other nodes.
OPTIONS¶
- -v, --version
- Print the version
- -h, --help
- Display a brief help message.
- -u, --unix-path path
- path to unix socket used for alfred server communication.
- -s, --server
- Start up in server mode. This server will read the current location from
gpsd and set it in alfred via unix socket. The alfred server must run too
to get this information set.
- -l, --location <lat>,<lon>,<alt>
- Rather than read the current location from gpsd, use a fixed
location.
- -g, --gpsd server[:port[:device]]
- Specify the server hostname and optional port of where gpsd is listening.
Additionally, a specific device connected to gpsd can be specified.
EXAMPLES¶
Start an alfred-gpsd server which is fetching GPS data from the local gpsd.
alfred-gpsd -s
Start an alfred-gpsd server with a fixed location
alfred-gpsd -s -l 48.858222,2.2945,358
To get a list of GPS locations, in JSON format:
