Stress Test: hupctl

TEST NAME

hupctl - verify that the HUPCTL property works

SYNOPSIS

hupcli -d devicename -b baudrate

hupclo -d devicename -b baudrate

DESCRIPTION

The hupctl program verifies the standard terminal/modem property Hang up on last close. It uses the termio(7I) implementation.

The hupcli command is started on the transmitter side. The hupclo command is started on the receiver side.

hupcli runs for a predetermined period of time, based on the value of the RUNTIME environment variable. When HUPCTL occurs, that is, when hupclo completes its reading (receiving), the device opened by hupclo is also closed.

OPERANDS

-d devicename

Device for communication. The device name should follow the full path. Usually all dialout device paths start with /dev/cua/.

-b baudrate

Baud rate. This must be the one specified in the termio(7I) man page.

DURATION

10 minutes

POSSIBLE CONCURRENT TESTS

No other concurrent tests are possible on the same port. That is, no other concurrent tests are possible on the port specified by devicename.

EXAMPLES

If:

Receiver device is /dev/cua/a

Transmitter device is /dev/cua/b

Receiver baud rate is 38400

Transmitter baud rate is 38400

Then, on the receiver side:

# hupcli -d /dev/cua/a -b 38400

On the transmitter side:

# hupclo -d /dev/cua/b -b 38400

NOTE: The receiver and transmitter can be on the same machine or on different machines, but they must be physically connected.
