tincan -- CRaTER basic communication link to pdist
tincan [-h] [-L] tlm_source_hostname [input_port] [output_port]
-h displays help message
-L communicates with local machine
This program takes each line typed on STDIN and sends it in a UDP packet to an existing pdist process. It converts received UDP packets into ASCII text printed on STDOUT.
If no tlm_source_hostname is given, the environment variable CRATER_GSE is consulted. Failing either one, the program complains and exits.
perl5.002 Minimum version of Perl interpreter required
CRATER_GSE Environment variable containing EGSE machine name
