DESCRIPTION
gpsfake is a test harness for
gpsd and its clients. It opens a pty
(pseudo-TTY), launches a gpsd instance that
thinks the slave side of the pty is its GPS device, and repeatedly
feeds the contents of a test logfile through the master side to the
GPS.
OPTIONS
The -n option suppresses launch of the daemon. Instead,
gpsfake will tell you the name of the slave
pty so you can launch in instance that reads it.
The -s option sets the baud rate. Note, this will only work if
the chipset accepts a speed-change command (SiRF-II supports this
feature).
The -h option makes gpsfake print
a usage message and exit.
The argument must be the name of a file containing the text of
NMEA sentences to be cycled at the device.
