              Probe for devices, print results, then exit.  A non-zero return
              status will be returned if no devices are available.

       -e, --exec <command>
              Execute the specified interactive mode command.  Multiple -e
              flags may be specified. The commands will be executed in the
              provided order.

       -s, --script <file>
              Run provided script.

       -i, --interactive
              Enter interactive mode.

              Print libbladeRF version and exit.

       -v, --verbosity <level>
              Set the libbladeRF verbosity level.  Levels, listed in
              increasing verbosity, are:

       critical, error, warning,
              info, debug, verbose

       --version
              Print CLI version and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show this help text.

       --help-interactive
              Print help information for all interactive commands.

   Notes:
              The -d option takes a device specifier string. See the
              bladerf_open() documentation for more information about the
              format of this string.

              If the -d parameter is not provided, the first available device
              will be used for the provided command, or will be opened prior
              to entering interactive mode.

              Commands are executed in the following order:

              Command line options, -e <command>, script commands, interactive
              mode commands.

              When running 'rx/tx start' from a script or via -e, ensure these
              commands are later followed by 'rx/tx wait [timeout]' to ensure
              the program will not attempt to exit before
              reception/transmission is complete.

INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
       bladeRF-cli supports a scriptable interactive mode.  Run bladeRF-cli
       --interactive to enter this mode.  Type "help" for a listing of all
       commands, or "help <command>" for more information about <command>.

   calibrate
       Usage: calibrate <operation> [options]

       Perform the specified transceiver calibration operation.

       Available operations:

       o LMS internal DC offset auto-calibrations

         o calibrate lms [show]

         o calibrate lms tuning [value]

         o calibrate lms txlpf [<I filter> <Q filter>]

         o calibrate lms rxlpf [<I filter> <Q filter>]

         o calibrate lms rxvga2 [<DC ref> <I1> <Q1> <I2> <Q2>]

         Perform the specified auto-calibration, or all of them if none are
         provided.  When values are provided, these are used instead of the
         results of the auto-calibration procedure.  Use lms show to read and
         print the current LMS calibration values.

         For rxvga2, I1 and Q1 are the Stage 1 I and Q components
         respectively, and I2 and Q2 are the Stage 2 I and Q components.

       o RX and TX I/Q DC offset correction parameter calibration

         o calibrate dc <rx|tx> [<I> <Q>]

         o calibrate dc <rxtx>

         Calibrate the DC offset correction parameters for the current
         frequency and gain settings.  If a I/Q values are provided, they are
         applied directly.  cal rxtx is shorthand for cal rx followed by
         cal tx.

       o RX and TX I/Q balance correction parameter calibration

         o calibrate iq <rx|tx> <gain|phase> <value>

         Set the specified IQ gain or phase balance parameters.

       o Generate RX or TX I/Q DC correction parameter tables

         o calibrate table dc <rx|tx> [<f_min> <f_max> [f_inc]]

         Generate and write an I/Q correction parameter table to the current
         working directory, in a file named <serial>_dc_<rx|tx>.tbl.  f_min
         and f_max are min and max frequencies to include in the table.  f_inc
         is the frequency increment.

         By default, tables are generated over the entire frequency range, in
         10 MHz steps.

       o Generate RX or TX I/Q DC correction parameter tables for AGC Look Up
         Table

         o calibrate table agc <rx|tx> [<f_min> <f_max> [f_inc]]

         Similar usage as calibrate table dc except the call will set gains to
         the AGC's base gain value before running calibrate table dc.

         XB-100 GPIO expansion board

       o 200

         XB-200 LF/MF/HF/VHF transverter expansion board

       o 300

         XB-300 amplifier board

       Common subcommands:

       o enable

         Enable the XB-100, XB-200, or XB-300 expansion board.

       XB-200 subcommands:

       o filter [rx|tx] [50|144|222|custom|auto_1db|auto_3db]

         Selects the specified RX or TX filter on the XB-200 board.  Below are
         descriptions of each of the filter options.

         o 50


                  Select the 50-54 MHz (6 meter band) filter.


         o 144


                  Select the 144-148 MHz (2 meter band) filter.


         o 222


                  Select the 222-225 MHz (1.25 meter band) filter. Realistically,
                  this filter option is actually slightly wider, covering
                  206 MHz - 235 MHz.


         o custom


                  Selects the custom filter path. The user should connect a filter
                  along the corresponding FILT and FILT-ANT connections when using
                  this option.  Alternatively one may jumper the FILT and FILT-ANT
                  connections to achieve "no filter" for reception. (However, this is
                  _highly_ discouraged for transmissions.)


         o auto_1db


                  Automatically selects one of the above choices based upon frequency
                  and the filters' 1dB points. The custom path is used for cases
                  that are not associated with the on-board filters.


         o auto_3db


                  Automatically selects one of the above choices based upon frequency
                  and the filters' 3dB points. The custom path is used for cases
                  that are not associated with the on-board filters.


       XB-300 subcommands:

       o <pa|lna|aux> [on|off]

         Enable or disable the power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (lna)
         or auxillary LNA (aux).  The current state if the specified device is
         printed if [on|off] is not specified.

         Note: The auxillary path on the XB-300 is not populated with
         components by default; the aux control will have no effect upon the
         RX signal.  This option is available for users to modify their board
         with custom hardware.

       o <pwr>

         Read the current Power Detect (PDET) voltage and compute the output
         power.

       o trx <rx|tx>

         The default XB-300 hardware configuration includes separate RX and TX
         paths.  However, users wishing to use only a single antenna for TRX
         can do so via a modification to resistor population options on the
         XB-300 and use this command to switch between RX an TX operation.
         (See R8, R10, and R23 on the schematic.)

       Examples:

       o xb 200 enable

         Enables and configures the XB-200 transverter expansion board.

       o xb 200 filter rx 144

         Selects the 144-148 MHz receive filter on the XB-200 transverter
         expansion board.

       o xb 300 enable

         Enables and configures the use of GPIOs to interact with the XB-300.
         The PA and LNA will disabled by default.

       o xb 300 lna on

         Enables the RX LNA on the XB-300.  LED D1 (green) is illuminated when
         the LNA is enabled, and off when it is disabled.

       o xb 300 pa off

         Disables the TX PA on the XB-300.  LED D2 (blue) is illuminated when
         the PA is enabled, and off when it is disabled.

   mimo
       Usage: mimo [master | slave]

       Modify device MIMO operation.

       IMPORTANT: This command is deprecated and has been superseded by
       "print/set smb_mode".  For usage text, run: "set smb_mode"

   open
       Usage: open [device identifiers]

       Open the specified device for use with successive commands.  Any
       previously opened device will be closed.

       The general form of the device identifier string is:

       <backend>:[device=<bus>:<addr>] [instance=<n>] [serial=<serial>]

       See the bladerf_open() documentation in libbladeRF for the complete
       device specifier format.

   peek
       Usage: peek <rfic|pll|dac|lms|si> <address> [num_addresses]

       The peek command can read any of the devices hanging off the FPGA.
       This includes the:

       o bladeRF 1: LMS6002D transceiver, VCTCXO trim DAC, Si5338 clock
         generator

       o bladeRF 2: AD9361 transceiver, VCTCXO trim DAC, ADF4002 frequency
         synthesizer

       If num_addresses is supplied, the address is incremented by 1 and
       another peek is performed for that many addresses.

   probe
       Usage: probe [strict]

       Search for attached bladeRF device and print a list of results.

       Without specifying strict, the lack of any available devices is not
       considered an error.

       When provided the optional strict argument, this command will treat the

       Load firmware onto a device running in bootloader mode, or list all
       devices currently in bootloader mode.

       With no arguments, this command lists the USB bus and address for
       FX3-based devices running in bootloader mode.

       When provided a bus, address, and path to a firmware file, the
       specified device will be loaded with and begin executing the provided
       firmware.

       In most cases, after successfully loading firmware into the device's
       RAM, users should open the device with the "open" command, and write
       the firmware to flash via "load fx3 <firmware file>"

   run
       Usage: run <script>

       Run the provided script.

   rx
       Usage: rx <start | stop | wait | config [param=val [param=val [...]]>

       Receive IQ samples and write them to the specified file.  Reception is
       controlled and configured by one of the following:

            Command   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
              start   Start receiving samples
               stop   Stop receiving samples
               wait   Wait for sample transmission to complete, or until a
                      specified amount of time elapses
             config   Configure sample reception. If no parameters are
                      provided, the current parameters are printed.

       Running rx without any additional commands is valid shorthand for
       rx config.

       The wait command takes an optional timeout parameter.  This parameter
       defaults to units of milliseconds (ms).  The timeout unit may be
       specified using the ms or s suffixes.  If this parameter is not
       provided, the command will wait until the reception completes or Ctrl-C
       is pressed.

       Configuration parameters take the form param=value, and may be
       specified in a single or multiple rx config invocations.  Below is a
       list of available parameters.

              Parameter   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      n   Number of samples to receive. 0 = inf.
                   file   Filename to write received samples to
                 format   Output file format. One of the following:
                          csv: CSV of SC16 Q11 samples
                          bin: Raw SC16 Q11 DAC samples
                samples   Number of samples per buffer to use in the
                          asynchronous stream. Must be divisible by 1024 and
                          >= 1024.
                buffers   Number of sample buffers to use in the asynchronous
                          stream. The min value is 4.
                  xfers   Number of simultaneous transfers to allow the
                          asynchronous stream to use. This should be less than
                          the buffers parameter.
                timeout   Data stream timeout. With no suffix, the default
                          unit is ms. The default value is 1000 ms (1 s).
                          Valid suffixes are ms and s.
                channel   Comma-delimited list of physical RF channels to use

       Example:

       o rx config file=/tmp/data.bin format=bin n=10K

         Receive (10240 = 10 * 1024) samples, writing them to /tmp/data.bin in
         the binary DAC format.

       o rx config file=mimo.csv format=csv n=32768 channel=1,2

         Receive 32768 samples from RX1 and RX2, outputting them to a file
         named mimo.csv, with four columns (RX1 I, RX1 Q, RX2 I, RX2 Q).

       Notes:

       o The n, samples, buffers, and xfers parameters support the suffixes K,
         M, and G, which are multiples of 1024.

       o An rx stop followed by an rx start will result in the samples file
         being truncated.  If this is not desired, be sure to run rx config to
         set another file before restarting the rx stream.

       o For higher sample rates, it is advised that the binary output format
         be used, and the output file be written to RAM (e.g.  /tmp,
         /dev/shm), if space allows.  For larger captures at higher sample
         rates, consider using an SSD instead of a HDD.

       o The CSV format produces two columns per channel, with the first two
         columns corresponding to the I,Q pair for the first channel
         configured with the channel parameter; the next two columns
         corresponding to the I,Q of the second channel, and so on.

   trigger
       Usage: trigger [<trigger> <tx | rx> [<off slave master fire>]]

       If used without parameters, this command prints the state of all
       triggers.  When and and supplied, the specified trigger is printed.

       Below are the available options for :

             Trigger   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
               J71-4   Trigger signal is on mini_exp1 (bladeRF x40/x115, J71,
                       pin 4).
               J51-1   Trigger signal is on mini_exp1 (bladeRF xA4/xA5/xA9,
                       J51, pin 1).
           Miniexp-1   Trigger signal is on mini_exp1, hardware-independent

       Note that all three of the above options map to the same logical port
       on all devices (mini_exp[1]).  Multiple options are provided for
       reverse compatibility and clarity.

       The trigger is controlled and configured by providing the last
       argument, which may be one of the following:

            Command   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                off   Clears fire request and disables trigger functionality.
              slave   Configures trigger as slave, clears fire request, and
                      arms the device.
             master   Configures trigger as master, clears fire request, and
                      arms the device.
               fire   Sets fire request. Only applicable to the master.

       A trigger chain consists of a single or multiple bladeRF units and may
       contain TX and RX modules.  If multiple bladeRF units are used they
       need to be connected via the signal specified by and a common ground.

       The following sequence of commands should be used to ensure proper
       synchronization.  It is assumed that all triggers are off initially.

       1. Configure designated trigger master

           IMPORTANT


                  Never configure two devices as trigger masters on a single chain.
                  Contention on the same signal could damage the devices.


       2. Configure all other devices as trigger slaves

       3. Configure and start transmit or receive streams.


                  The operation will stall until the triggers fire. As such, sufficiently
                  large timeouts should be used to allow the trigger signal to be emitted
                  by the master and received by the slaves prior to libbladeRF returning
                  BLADERF_ERR_TIMEOUT.


       4. Set fire-request on master trigger


                  All devices will synchronously start transmitting or receiving data.


       5. Finish the transmit and receive tasks as usual

       6. Re-configure the master and slaves to clear fire requests and
          re-arm.


                  Steps 1 through 5 may be repeated as neccessary.


       7. Disable triggering on all slaves

       8. Disable triggering on master

       Notes:

       o Synchronizing transmitters and receivers on a single chain will cause
         an offset of 11 samples between TX and RX; these samples should be
         discarded.  This is caused by different processing pipeline lengths
         of TX and RX.  This value might change if the FPGA code is updated in
         the future.

   tx
       Usage: tx <start | stop | wait | config [parameters]>

       Read IQ samples from the specified file and transmit them.
       Transmission is controlled and configured by one of the following:

            Command   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
              start   Start transmitting samples
               stop   Stop transmitting samples
               wait   Wait for sample transmission to complete, or until a
                      specified amount of time elapses
             config   Configure sample transmission. If no parameters are
                      provided, the current parameters are printed.

       Running tx without any additional commands is valid shorthand for
       tx config.

       The wait command takes an optional timeout parameter.  This parameter
       defaults to units of milliseconds (ms).  The timeout unit may be
       specified using the ms or s suffixes.  If this parameter is not
       provided, the command will wait until the transmission completes or
       Ctrl-C is pressed.

       Configuration parameters take the form param=value, and may be
       specified in a single or multiple tx config invocations.  Below is a
       list of available parameters.

              Parameter   Description
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   file   Filename to read samples from
                 format   Input file format. One of the following:
                          csv: CSV of SC16 Q11 samples ([-2048, 2047])
                          bin: Raw SC16 Q11 DAC samples ([-2048, 2047])
                 repeat   The number of times the file contents should be
                          transmitted. 0 implies repeat until stopped.
                  delay   The number of microseconds to delay between
                          retransmitting file contents. 0 implies no delay.
                samples   Number of samples per buffer to use in the
                          asynchronous stream. Must be divisible by 1024 and
                          >= 1024.
                buffers   Number of sample buffers to use in the asynchronous
                          stream. The min value is 4.
                  xfers   Number of simultaneous transfers to allow the
                          asynchronous stream to use. This should be < the
                          buffers parameter.
                timeout   Data stream timeout. With no suffix, the default
                          unit is ms. The default value is 1000 ms (1 s).
                          Valid suffixes are 'ms' and 's'.
                channel   Comma-delimited list of physical RF channels to use

       Example:

       o tx config file=data.bin format=bin repeat=2 delay=250000

         Transmitting the contents of data.bin two times, with a ~250ms delay
         between transmissions.

       o tx config file=mimo.csv format=csv repeat=0 channel=1,2

         Transmitting the contents of mimo.csv repeatedly, with the first
         channel in the file mapped to channel TX1 and the second channel
         mapped to TX2.

       Notes:

       o The n, samples, buffers, and xfers parameters support the suffixes K,
         M, and G, which are multiples of 1024.

       o For higher sample rates, it is advised that the input file be stored
         in RAM (e.g.  /tmp, /dev/shm) or on an SSD, rather than a HDD.

       o The CSV format expects two columns per channel, with the first two
         columns corresponding to the I,Q pair for the first channel
         configured with the channel parameter; the next two columns
         corresponding to the I,Q of the second channel, and so on.  For
         example, in the mimo.csv example above, -128,128,-256,256 would
         transmit (-128,128) on TX1 and (-256,256) on TX2.

       o When providing CSV data, this command will first convert it to a
         binary format, stored in a file in the current working directory.
         During this process, out-of-range values will be clamped.

       o When using a binary format, the user is responsible for ensuring that
         the provided data values are within the allowed range.  This
         prerequisite alleviates the need for this program to perform range
         checks in time-sensitive callbacks.

   set
       Usage: set <parameter> <arguments>

       The set command takes a parameter and an arbitrary number of arguments
       for that particular parameter.  In general, set <parameter> will
       display more help for that parameter.

       Common parameters:
