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