[gpsd-users] how-to connect to IPv6 address

[hans mayer]

yo gary,

i have seen that gpsd is listening at IPv6.
and i can connect from cgps or xgps successfully, if
this address has a valid IPv6 DNS entry. so using
the name goes well.

but if i try the IPv6 as number it doesn't work.

i think it's related to the syntax how the argument
should look like. for example

Usage: cgps [-h] [-V] [-l {d|m|s}] [server[:port:[device]]]

server, port and device are separated by a ":"
an IPv6 address looks like this  fe80::c8:6ff:fec3:47f7
in this case a link local

is there a way without IPv4 or creating DNS entries ?


kind regards
hans
