8 "tio" is a simple TTY terminal application which features a straightforward
9 commandline interface to easily connect to TTY devices for basic
12 It was created because the author needed a simple no-nonsense TTY
13 terminal application to easily connect to various terminal TTY devices.
18 The commandline interface is straightforward as reflected in the output

37 In session, press ctrl-t q to quit.
40 The only option which requires a bit of elaboration is perhaps the
41 --no-autoconnect option.
43 By default tio automatically connects to the provided device if present.
44 If the device is not present, it will wait for it to appear and then
45 connect. If the connection is lost (eg. device disconnects), it will wait
46 for the device to reappear and then reconnect.
48 However, if the --no-autoconnect option is provided, tio will exit if the
49 device is not present or an established connection is lost.
51 Tio features full bash autocompletion support.
53 Tio also supports various key commands. Press ctrl-t ? to list the
54 available key commands.
