    tio: update to 1.38.

    === tio v1.38 ===

    Changes since tio v1.37:

     * Redirect error messages to stderr

     * Improve help and man page

     * Mention config file in --help

     * Fix running without config file

     * Fix config file error messages

     * Redirect error messages to stderr

     * Add repology packaging status

     * Fix parsing of default settings

       Default configuration file settings were not parsed in case a section
       was matched. Now we make sure that the default (unnamed) settings are
       always parsed.

     * Append to existing log file (no truncation)

     * Add socket info to show configuration

     * Print socket info at startup

     * Fix socket option parsing

    Peter Collingbourne:

     * Match user input against config section names if pattern matching was unsuccessful.

       This allows for better config file ergonomics if the user has a diverse
       set of serial devices as the name does not need to be specified in
       the config file twice.

     * Add support for external control via a Unix domain socket.

       This feature allows an external program to inject output into and
       listen to input from a serial port via a Unix domain socket (path
       specified via the -S/--socket command line flag, or the socket
       config file option) while tio is running. This is useful for ad-hoc
       scripting of serial port interactions while still permitting manual
       control. Since many serial devices (at least on Linux) get confused
       when opened by multiple processes, and most commands do not know
       how to correctly open a serial device, this allows a more convenient
       usage model than directly writing to the device node from an external
       program.

       Any input from clients connected to the socket is sent on the serial
       port as if entered at the terminal where tio is running (except that
       ctrl-t sequences are not recognized), and any input from the serial
       port is multiplexed to the terminal and all connected clients.

       Sockets remain open while the serial port is disconnected, and writes
       will block.

       Example usage 1 (issue a command):

         echo command | nc -UN /path/to/socket > /dev/null

       Example usage 2 (use the expect command to script an interaction):

         #!/usr/bin/expect -f

         set timeout -1
         log_user 0

         spawn nc -UN /path/to/socket
         set uart $spawn_id

         send -i $uart "command1\n"
         expect -i $uart "prompt> "
         send -i $uart "command2\n"
         expect -i $uart "prompt> "

     * fix for using option 'log' without 'log-filename' in config file
