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