Modes

The operation mode is selected based on context, but can be influenced by some options.
There are 2 modes:

• Interactive
  • Used by default when there are no command arguments.
  • Opens an interactive console session. You can send commands and view the responses.
• Commandline
  • Executes a list of commands in order with a configurable delay between sending each packet.
  • You can also use the -f <filepath> or --file <filepath> options to specify a scriptfile, which is executed line-by-line after any commands passed on the commandline.
