DESCRIPTION

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.
