- These are utilties for use with SANA-II drivers. Some may be useful to
- advanced end-users (with some additional work) but all should be useful to
- SANA-II developers. The source code to these utilities should provide good
- examples of how to use much of the functionality within the standard, and the
- behavior of the utilities should help to test new driver implementations.
-
- Most of the utilities take advantage of skeleton.c and skeleton.h which
- include functions for opening and closing a SANA-II device. Notably, these
- functions read the device to open and the unit number to open from the
- environment variables SANA.Device and SANA.Unit if those enviroment variables
- exist, else the user is queried.
-
- None of the utilities are optimized in any way and all could be made much
- smaller, but they probably do not warrant any time for any optimizations, at
- least not at this time.
-
- If any of these are ever made into end-user utilities, they should be Amigaized
- (readargs, no printf(), more reasonable version
- numbers, etc. As it is, they are tiny and source would be included in any
- distribution anyway. (OK, maybe that's still not a good excuse.)
-
- devquery -- gives information about the device.
-
- configure -- configure a SANA-II device. This can only be succesfully done
- once, but must be done before the SANA-II device is used for anything other
- than devquery. This program accepts as an argument a user-override for the
- hardware address (though not all devices will respond to this "override").
-
- globstats -- print global statistics from the SANA-II device.
-
- typestats -- ask SANA-II device to keep statistics on a particular type of
- packet and print said statistics gathered by the device. It defaults to
- gathering ten seconds of statistics, but a command line argument may change
- this default.
-
- waitforonline -- wait until a SANA-II device comes online. Really just for
- testing this functionality in a driver.
-
- online -- put an offline SANA-II device online. Really just for
- testing this functionality in a driver.
-
- offline -- put an online SANA-II device offline. Really just for
- testing this functionality in a driver.
