= Description =
FIXME
= Positioning request =
The positioning request sent by OwlPS Client is a simple buffer
represented as the following:
```
Byte: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
+-----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| Offset: 0 | T | Pkt ID | Nb pkts | |
+-----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ |
| 8 | |
+-----------+ |
| 16 | Request time (seconds) |
+-----------+ |
| 24 | |
+----------- +-----+-----+-----+
| 32 | | |
+-----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ |
| 40 | |
+-----------+ |
| 48 | Request time (nanoseconds) |
+-----------+ |
| 56 | |
+-----------+ +-----+-----+-----+
| 64 | | D | X |
+-----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| 72 | X (cont.) | Y | Z |
+-----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| 80 | Z (cont.) | |
+-----------+-----+-----+ Padding +
| ... | |
+-----------+ +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| 1448 | |
+-----------+-----+-----+
```
Where:
- **T** is the request type;
- **Pkt ID** is the current packet's number;
- **Nb pkts** is the number of packets sent for this request;
- **Request time (seconds)** and **Request time (nanoseconds)** are the
two fields of an //owl_timestamp// structure see owlps.h;
- **D**, **X**, **Y** and **Z** are calibration information present only
for calibration requests:
- **D** is the direction (orientation) of the mobile,
- **X**, **Y** and **Z** are the coordinates of the mobile;
- **Padding** are optional extra bytes added at the end of the packet,
for a maximal size of 1450 bytes.
= Options =
: **-h**
Print help message.
: **-V**
Print version information.
: **-v**
Turn on verbose mode (default).
: **-q**
Do not print informational messages and some (less important)
warnings.
: **-i** //dest_ip//
Destination IP address of the localisation request.
: **-p** //dest_port//
Destination port of the localisation request (default: 9900).
: **-t** //delay//
Time between each packet transmission in milliseconds (default: 25 ms
for a normal request, 50 ms for a calibration request).
: **-n** //nb_packets//
Number of packet transmitted for the request (default: 10 for a normal
request, 20 for a calibration request).
: **-s** //packet_size//
Data size of the transmitted packets. The minimal value is the size of
the request's data fields; if //packet_size// is less than this size,
it is ignored. Note that this size does not take into account the
headers, so the whole 802.11 frame will be bigger.
: **-I** //iface//
Name of the network interface used to transmit the request (e.g.
"eth2"). If this option is absent, the interface is selected
automatically. You must be root to use this option.
: **-F** [ //delay// ]
"Flood mode": loop indefinitely, sending a new request every //delay//
milliseconds (default: 1000 ms).
: **-N** //nb_requests//
With -F, stop after //nb_requests// requests transmitted instead of
looping indefinitely.
: **-D**
Daemon mode. Useful only in flood mode.
: **-l** [ //port// ]
Wait for the computed position and display it. The optional argument
//port// allows to specify the listening port (default: 9910).
Available only if the program was compiled with the compilation-time
option ENABLE_RECEIVE_POSITION.
