7 gpsd is a monitor daemon that watches a TCP/IP port (2947 by default),
8 waiting for applications to request information from GPSes or
9 differential-GPS radios attached to the host machine. Each GPS or
10 radio is expected to be direct-connected to the host via a USB or
11 RS232C serial port. The port may be specified to gpsd at startup, or
12 it may be set via a command shipped down a local control socket (e.g.
13 by a USB hotplug script). Given a GPS device by either means, gpsd
14 discovers the correct port speed and protocol for it.
