05 Mar 2017 gpxlogger 1 The GPSD Project GPSD Documentation gpxlogger Tool to connect to gpsd and generate a GPX file gpxlogger -D debug-level -d -e export-method -f filename -l -m minmove -h -V -i track timeout server :port :device This program collects fixes from gpsd and logs them to standard output in GPX, an XML profile for track logging. The output may be composed of multiple tracks. A new track is created if there's no fix written for an interval specified by the -i and defaulting to 5 seconds. gpxlogger can use any of the export methods that gpsd supports. For a list of these methods, use the -l. To force the method, give the -e one of the colon-terminated method names from the -l table. The -h option causes gpxlogger to emit a summary of its options and then exit. The -V option causes gpxlogger to dump the package version and exit. The -D option sets a debug level; it is primarily for use by GPSD developers. It enables various progress messages to standard error. The -d option tells gpxlogger to run as a daemon in background. It requires the -f option, which directs output to a specified logfile. The -m option sets a minimum move distance in meters (it may include a fractional decimal part). Motions shorter than this will not be logged. The -r option tells gpxlogger to retry when GPSd loses the fix. Without -r, gpxlogger would quit in this case. If D-Bus support is available on the host, GPSD is configured to use it, and -e dbus is specified, this program listens to DBUS broadcasts from gpsd via org.gpsd.fix. With -e sockets, or if sockets is the method defaulted to, you may give a server-port-device specification as arguments. The sockets default is to all devices on the localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. An optional argument to any client may specify a server to get data from. A colon-separated suffix is taken as a port number. If there is a second colon-separated suffix, that is taken as a specific device name to be watched. However, if the server specification contains square brackets, the part inside them is taken as an IPv6 address and port/device suffixes are only parsed after the trailing bracket. Possible cases look like this: localhost:/dev/ttyS1 Look at the default port of localhost, trying both IPv4 and IPv6 and watching output from serial device 1. example.com:2317 Look at port 2317 on example.com, trying both IPv4 and IPv6. 71.162.241.5:2317:/dev/ttyS3 Look at port 2317 at the specified IPv4 address, collecting data from attached serial device 3. [FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210]:2317:/dev/ttyS5 Look at port 2317 at the specified IPv6 address, collecting data from attached serial device 5. gpsd8, gps1 gpspipe1 Amaury Jacquot sxpert@sxpert.org & Petter Reinholdtsen pere@hungry.com & Chris Kuethe chris.kuethe@gmail.com
