.TH SLIP 8
.SH NAME
slip \- Serial Line IP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B slip
.I pseudo-ip-device
.SH DESCRIPTION
.de SP
.if t .sp 0.4
.if n .sp
..
The
.B slip
program implements an Internet network connection over a bidirectional 8-bit
transport, usually a serial line.  The protocol used for this connection is
the Serial Line Internet Protocol, SLIP for short.
.PP
The
.I pseudo-ip-device
argument names one of the
.B /dev/psip*
devices that is offered by the MINIX 3 TCP/IP driver
.BR inet (8).
The
.B slip
program reads IP packets from standard input and writes them to the pseudo
IP device, and reads packets from the pseudo IP device and writes them to
standard output.  A typical use is like this:
.PP
.RS
.nf
.ft B
{
	stty raw 115200
	slip /dev/psip2 &
} </dev/tty01 >/dev/tty01
.ft P
.fi

.PP
The SLIP protocol is just a very simple packet framing protocol.  It defines
two characters as markers on a byte stream to frame packets.  SLIP does
not implement any higher level addressing, error detection, or compression.
Thanks to its simplicity it can be used under MINIX 3, any other system would
prefer to use the Point-to-Point protocol: PPP.
.PP
The SLIP packet framing protocol as defined in RFC-1055 is as follows:
.IP "\-"
Packets are delimited by an END character, octal 300.  END is often send at
the start of a packet too to reset the logic of the receiver, so that random
noise isn't added to the beginning of a packet.
.IP "\-"
An ESC character (octal 333) is used to escape any END or ESC characters
that may occur in an IP packet.  END and ESC are changed to ESC 334 and ESC
335 in the data stream.  (Note that END doesn't occur within the data stream
at all by escaping it this way, making finding the framing END easier.)

.PP
The manual page
.BR serial-ip (8)
describes how to configure the MINIX 3 network devices to be used with a
serial IP connection.

.SH NOTES
Under MINIX 3
.B slip
forks in two to handle the two data streams in or out of the serial line.
Under Minix-vmd it uses asynchronous I/O to handle the two streams within
one program.
