NAME¶

gnss-share

DESCRIPTION¶

gnss-share is an app that facilitates sharing GNSS location data with multiple clients, while providing a way to perform device-specific setup beforehand. For some devices, it can also manage loading and storing A-GPS data.

CONCEPTS¶

gnss-share was originally created to allow multiplexing GNSS data from a single device to multiple clients, and to facilitate loading/storing A-GPS data to and from the device. gnss-share effectively acts as a proxy between the GNSS device and the clients, which allows controlling when and what location data clients receive, as well as giving an opportunity to set time, rough location, etc on the device to improve lock speed. Some external signals can be used to control gnss-share, see SIGNALS for more information.

COMMANDS¶

SIGNALS¶

In addition to the command line options, this application will respond to the following signals when in "server" mode:

SIGUSR1

SIGUSR2
