nmdm — nullmodem terminal driver

Description

       The nmdm driver provides two tty(4) devices connected by a virtual “null modem” cable.

       If  either  of the two tty devices have the CDSR_OFLOW bit (“sttydsrflow”) set in their line discipline,
       the nmdm device will emulate the speed configured in the termios(4) settings.  The speed emulation  works
       independently in the two directions, controlled by the slower end's termios settings (c_ispeed, c_ospeed,
       CS5 ... CS8, CSTOPB and PARENB).

Diagnostics

       None.

Files

/dev/nmdmN[AB]  nullmodem device nodes.  Where the A node has a matching B node.

       The  nmdm driver implements “on-demand device creation” so simply accessing a given instance in /dev will
       create it.

History

       The nmdm driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.

Debian                                          January 23, 2018                                         NMDM(4)
