NAME¶
mgnokiidev - links /dev/gnokii to a virtual modem
SYNOPSIS¶
mgnokiidev /dev/pts/?
DESCRIPTION¶
mgnokiidev is a tool from the gnokii tool suite used to create the link
/dev/gnokii that points to a pseudo-tty (/dev/pts/?).
It is called after
gnokiid has created a virtual modem that is attached
to the pty. It's operation is transparent under normal usage as gnokiid takes
care of calling it when required.
Since
mgnokiidev must modifiy files in /dev, it must be either run as
root or SUID root. The latter is the preferred method. Normally the
mgnokiidev binary is chmod 4750 and owned by root.gnokii.
gnokii is a Linux/Unix tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for Nokia
mobile phones, released under the GPL.
gnokii supports most phones from the 3810/8110 and 5110/6110 series, details
including bugs specific to each series appear in the files Docs/README-3810
and Docs/README-6110 respectively.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
