FLDIGI-SHELL(1)
===============
== NAME ==
fldigi-shell - program for controlling fldigi
== SYNOPSIS ==
*fldigi-shell* ['OPTIONS'] ['FILE']
== DESCRIPTION ==
The fldigi-shell program controls +fldigi(1)+ over HTTP via XML-encoded remote
procedure calls (XML-RPC). It can call any XML-RPC method exported by fldigi,
and also defines some useful commands of its own.
== OPTIONS ==
*-d*::
Enable debug output.
*-u* 'URL'::
Use 'URL' to access the server. Defaults to ``http://localhost:7362/RPC2'',
which corresponds to fldigi's default listen address and port.
*-c* 'COMMAND'::
Execute command 'COMMAND' and exit.
== COMMANDS ==
[NOTE]
================================================================================
The ``x:yz'' notation refers to the return type and argument type(s). They are:
``n'' (nil), ``i'' (integer), and ``s'' (string).
================================================================================
debug (n:n:)::
Toggle debug output.
eval (s:s)::
Evaluate Perl code.
exit (n:n)::
Exit the shell.
help (n:n)::
Print help for server (fldigi) methods and shell commands.
history (s:n)::
Print command history.
modems (s:n)::
List all modem names.
poll (s:i)::
Poll for new received text every 'i' seconds. Defaults to '1'.
pskrqsy (n:si)::
QSY to 'i'^th^ best frequency for grid 's'. The list of frequencies is
retrieved from the PSK Reporter website; see *RESOURCES*. The grid square
string may be left empty, and the index argument defaults to '0' (first
frequency).
recvtext (s:n)::
Get all received text.
reinit (n:n)::
Fetch commands from the server and rebuild command list.
send (n:s)::
Send text interactively, one line at a time.
sendchar (n:s)::
Send text interactively, one character at a time.
sendfile (n:s)::
Send text read from file 's'.
sendstr (n:s)::
Send string 's'.
source (n:s)::
Read commands from file 's'.
time (s:s)::
Time a command.
wait (n:s)::
Wait for server TRX state to become 's'.
== EXTENDED DESCRIPTION ==
The shell has three modes of operation:
. Interactive mode with history, tab completion and command line editing. This
is the default mode when fldigi-shell is run without arguments.
. Batch mode for a single command with the *-c* option.
. Batch mode to ``source'' a file containing Perl code. Fldigi-shell commands
can be called using ``execute("COMMAND [ARG ...]")'' calls.
== FILES ==
$HOME/.fldigi/shell-history::
Contains the fldigi-shell command history.
== EXAMPLES ==
+while :; do fldigi-shell -c pskrqsy; sleep 900; done+::
Change to the ``best frequency'' (see PSK Reporter) every fifteen minutes.
== SEE ALSO ==
fldigi(1), xmlrpc(1), readline(3), RPC::XML(3pm)
== BUGS ==
* Some additional command wrappers are needed.
* Command completion should be enabled for the arguments of some commands.
* The XML-RPC handling code should probably go in a separate module.
* It should be possible to pass multiple '-c CMD' arguments.
