<h1 class="chapter">3 Terminal Mode Operation</h1>
<p>AVRDUDE has an interactive mode called <var>terminal mode</var> that is
enabled by the ‘<samp>-t</samp>’ option. This mode allows one to enter
interactive commands to display and modify the various device memories,
perform a chip erase, display the device signature bytes and part
parameters, and to send raw programming commands. Commands and
parameters may be abbreviated to their shortest unambiguous form.
Terminal mode also supports a command history so that previously entered
commands can be recalled and edited.
