Usage

flarq [OPTIONS]

Overview

Flarq (fast light automatic repeat request) is a file transfer application that is based on the ARQ specification developed by Paul Schmidt, K9PS. It is capable of transmitting and receiving frames of ARQ data via fldigi, as well as MultiPSK on Windows.

Options

Long options begin with two hyphens and are handled by flarq. The option names may be abbreviated to any unambiguous substring, and the option argument may be separated from the name by a space or equals sign, as per getopt(3).

Short options begin with a single hyphen and are passed directly to FLTK. They may be abbreviated only as indicated.

--arq-protocol TYPE: Set the ARQ protocol. May be either “fldigi” or “multipsk”. Defaults to “fldigi”.

--arq-server-address HOSTNAME: Set the ARQ TCP server address. Defaults to “127.0.0.1”. HOSTNAME may be any node name string accepted by getaddrinfo(3).

--arq-server-port PORT: Set the ARQ TCP server port. Defaults to “7322”. PORT may be any service name string accepted by getaddrinfo(3).

--debug: Enable debugging messages.

--version: Print version information and exit.

--build-info: Print build information and exit.

--help: Print options summary and exit.
