========

Protocon is a socket-centric framework for rapidly prototyping
connections through simple send and receive commands. Think socat with
pretty hex output and more send / receive automation control.

Installing
----------

Protocon requires Python 3.4+ and can be installed via pip using the
command ``python3 -m pip install protocon``.

Example Usage
-------------

Manual Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~

Starting Protocon requires a ``target_url`` argument which describes the
type of socket to open and the endpoint to connect to. Protocon will
then switch to an interactive console where various commands are
available to send and receive data.

Trans(script) Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When starting Protocon, one or more resource files containing commands
can be specified and will be executed in sequence.

``target_url`` Examples

Data Expansion
--------------

Data passed by the user (such as the parameter to the ``send`` and
``recv_until`` commands) will be expanded using a basic escape sequence.
Additionally these sequences can be escaped by being prefixed with
``\``.

+------------+------------------------+
| Sequence   | Description            |
+============+========================+
| ``\\``     | Literal backslash      |
+------------+------------------------+
| ``\n``     | New line               |
+------------+------------------------+
| ``\r``     | Carrige return         |
+------------+------------------------+
| ``\t``     | Tab                    |
+------------+------------------------+
| ``\x00``   | Literal byte ``0x00``  |
+------------+------------------------+
| ``${var}`` | Variable named ``var`` |
+------------+------------------------+

Variables
~~~~~~~~~

The expansion supports variables inserted with ``${var}``. The following
variables are defined automatically.

+------------------+---------------------------------+
| Variable Name    | Description                     |
+==================+=================================+
| ``url.host``     | The host portion of the URL     |
+------------------+---------------------------------+
| ``url.password`` | The password portion of the URL |
+------------------+---------------------------------+
| ``url.port``     | The port portion of the URL     |
+------------------+---------------------------------+
| ``url.scheme``   | The scheme portion of the URL   |
+------------------+---------------------------------+
| ``url.username`` | The username portion of the URL |
+------------------+---------------------------------+
