For my convenience (to be able to access my VMEbus CPUs remotely) I built this into the rtems_init:


*
 ***********************************************************************
 *                         TELNET DAEMON                               *
 ***********************************************************************
 */
#define LINE_SIZE 256
static void
telnet_pseudoIocsh(char *name, void *arg)
{
  char line[LINE_SIZE];
  int fid[3], save_fid[3];

  printf("info:  pty dev name = %s\n", name);

  save_fid[1] = dup2(1,1);
  fid[1] = dup2( fileno(stdout), 1);
  if (fid[1] == -1 ) printf("Can't dup stdout\n");
  save_fid[2] = dup2(2,2);
  fid[2] = dup2( fileno(stderr), 2);
  if (fid[2] == -1 ) printf("Can't dup stderr\n");

  const char *prompt = "tIocSh> ";

  while (1) {
    fputs(prompt, stdout);
    fflush(stdout);
    /* telnet close not detected ??? tbd */
    if (fgets(line, LINE_SIZE, stdin) == NULL) {
      dup2(save_fid[1],1);
+     dup2(save_fid[2],2);
      return;
    }
    if (line[strlen(line)-1] == '\n') line[strlen(line)-1] = 0;
    if (!strncmp( line, "bye",3)) {
      printf( "%s", "Will end session\n");
      dup2(save_fid[1],1);
      dup2(save_fid[2],2);
      return;
     }
     iocshCmd(line);
   }
}


and defined this in the telned_config_table.


Viele Grüße

You don’t have to use the iocsh to run your IOCs – you can write your own shell, or set up the stdin/stdout/stderr streams to point to something else before running iocsh() in the main() routine. You might want to disable readline if you do that though unless you are completely emulating a tty.
