-U is a programmer's tool; not so much a user's tool
" This option should therefor only used by frontends (such as kdos),
which first create the proper named pipes and then launch DOSEMU."
"A tiny control terminal, which can serve as example, is the supplied
dosctrl programm."
That is what I am trying to do....
use dosemu for a "backend"
I want to pipe commands in one pipe
and get the output from another pipe
no terminal interaction, and no X at all.
Well kdos (KDE DOSEMU) never really became something I guess, but
dosctrl
dosctrl is in src/tools/periph
so this works
$ cd src/tools/periph
$ mkfifo fdin fdout
$ xdosemu -Ufdin:fdout &
$ ./dosctrl fdin fdout
help
ack [{on|off}] get/set user hook handshake acknowledge
hello just for testing, any kinf of argument
kill kill the dosemu session from inside
version prints the dosemu version
keystroke <strokes> insert keystrokes into the DOS session
log [debugflags] get/set debugflags which control log output
hog [value] get/set the HogThreshold
boot [{on|off}] get/set the mode of the vbootfloppy
xmode [<args>] set X parameters, without args gives help
lredir n: dir [ro] redirect directory 'dir' to DOS drive 'n:'
help this screen
ecpu [{on|off}] get/set cpuemu
config print the current configuration
version
dosemu-1.1.5.7
^C
$
All this does is trade on input terminal for another...
and tie me to x as well.
I know how to create and permission a FIFO
it "talks" to dosemu fine ( dosemu reads from it )
dosemu produces ( bogus) output on the output pipe
so we know it is connected to the output pipe....
so why do I get the Command "whatever" not found
no matter what I type?
Does this "feature" actually work? ( in 1.1.5.6 )
Has it ever worked in any version?
( with normal FIFO files driven by a frontend )
