LDATTACH(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual LDATTACH(8)NAMEldattach - attach a line discipline to a serial line
SYNOPSISldattach [-27dehmop] [-s baudrate] [-t cond] discipline device
DESCRIPTIONldattach is used to attach a line discipline to a serial line to allow
for in-kernel processing of the received and/or sent data. Depending on
the line discipline being attached, one or more options may be applied.
ldattach can be run from the command line or at system startup by having
init(8) read ttys(5) entries to attach line disciplines.
The following options are available:
-2 Use 2 stopbits instead of 1.
-7 Use 7 databits instead of 8.
-d Do not daemonize.
-e Use even parity.
-h Turn on RTS/CTS flow control. By default, no flow control is
done.
-m Maintain modem control signals after closing the line.
Specifically, this disables HUPCL.
-o Use odd parity.
-p Pass the data received from device to the master device of a
pty(4) pair and vice versa. The name of the slave device is
written to standard output.
-s baudrate
Specifies the speed of the connection. If not specified, the
default of 9600 baud is used (4800 baud for nmea(4)).
-t cond
nmea(4), msts(4) and endrun(4) line disciplines only. Chooses
the condition which will cause the current system time to be
immediately copied to the terminal timestamp storage for
subsequent use by nmea(4), msts(4) or endrun(4). Only one can be
used.
dcd Copy the timestamp when DCD is asserted.
!dcd Copy the timestamp when DCD is deasserted.
cts Copy the timestamp when CTS is asserted.
!cts Copy the timestamp when CTS is deasserted.
If no condition is specified, the nmea(4) line discipline will
timestamp on receiving the leading `$' character of each block of
NMEA sentences.
discipline
Specifies the name of the line discipline to be attached.
endrun Attach the endrun(4) line discipline.
msts Attach the msts(4) line discipline.
nmea Attach the nmea(4) line discipline.
slip Attach the sl(4) line discipline.
device Specifies the name of the serial line. device should be a string
of the form ``cuaXX'' or ``/dev/cuaXX''.
cua(4) devices should be used when ldattach is started from the
command line; when started using init(8), tty(4) devices should
be used.
If ldattach was not started by init(8), the line discipline can be
detached by killing off the ldattach process.
EXAMPLES
To start ldattach using init(8) to attach the nmea(4) line discipline to
/dev/tty01 at 4800 baud using a device without a carrier (DCD) line, add
a line of the following form to /etc/ttys:
tty01 "/sbin/ldattach nmea" unknown on softcar

The ldattach command first appeared in OpenBSD 4.3.
