Hi,

as Daniel we are here also interested in dumping CAN frames to our
devices and extending/adding this tool to Xenomai would be great.

Sometimes in our company it's really useful to save the rtcanrecv
output and, sometime later, send it in order to reproduce CAN traffic.

do you guys think that it's interesting that rtcansendmulti supports
same syntax than rtcanrecv output?
To do for instance:
rtcanrecv | rtcansendmulti -

thx
