Folks, Here is the short description of sandpoint satmgr(4). - simple interface to receive and send uninterpreted byte(s). - select/poll/kqueue on read side. oversized write will block. - since there is little chance to have consisitency among how many buttons and LEDs on each NAS are and how they are lablled on chasis, NetBSD/sandpoint kernel doesn't attempt to assign "meaning" of the byte and sequences. Then it's free that programs that know what Button/LED are achieve their own aim. - satmgr(4) makes possible to have NAS CGI features with the least amount of programming efforts.
