Linuxpps support tools and headers
The pps-tools package includes the necessary headers for using LinuxPPS PPSAPI kernel interface in user-space applications and several support tools.
ppstest: PPSAPI interface tester
ppsldisc: setup correct RS232 line discipline
ppswatch: continuously print PPS timestamps
ppsctl: PPS device manager
ppsfind: find pps device by name
Most tools display a short help message if you run them with --help as option. Unfortunately they do not come with any further documentation.
The Wiki on http://linuxpps.org provides some documentation of the LinuxPPS PPSAPI interface.
