flarq (1)

flarq [OPTIONS]

Flarq (fast light automatic repeat request) is a file transfer application that is based on the ARQ specification developed by Paul Schmidt, K9PS. It is capable of transmitting and receiving frames of ARQ data via fldigi, as well as MultiPSK on Windows.

Long options begin with two hyphens and are handled by flarq. The option names may be abbreviated to any unambiguous substring, and the option argument may be separated from the name by a space or equals sign, as per getopt(3).

Short options begin with a single hyphen and are passed directly to FLTK. They may be abbreviated only as indicated.
