Bug reporting

Please use the GitHub system to report feature request and bugs.

Known issues

Quoting the hex strings will result in a crash. Known workaround is to not quote HEX definitions.

There are compilation problems on old gcc variants, you should get an error similar to: docsis.c: multiple definition of `main'. Known workaround is to upgrade to a newer version of gcc.

If you want to encode as string something similar to ""value"" you need to escape the extra characters. Config file value should look like "\"value\"".
