-H
  Turn on DTR/CTS flow control. By default, no flow control is done.

-h

-l
  Turn on the CLOCAL flag, making it possible to run SLIP on a cable without modem control signals (e.g. DTR, DSR, DCD).

-m
  Maintain modem control signals after closing the line. Specifically, this disables HUPCL.

-n
  Do not detach from invoking tty.

-p
  Print process id to file.

ttyname

Only the super-user may attach a network interface.

The frame driver is detached by killing the irdaattach process.

      irdaattach tty00
