  -l, --list            list available serial ports
  -p PORT, --port PORT  serial device to connect to (default: /dev/ttyS0)
  -b BAUD, --baud BAUD  baudrate for connection (default: 9600)
  -f FLOW, --flow FLOW  select flow control method (default: hw)

additional information:
  BAUD is expected to be one of the following:
     300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
  A nonstandard baud rate will produce a warning

  FLOW is expected to be one of the following:
     hw                 hardware flow control
     sw                 software flow control
     both               both flow controls
     none               no flow control
