When picocom starts it opens the tty (serial port) given as its
non-option argument. Unless the **--noinit** option is given, it
configures the port to the settings specified by the option-arguments
(or to some default settings), and sets it to "raw" mode. If
**--noinit** is given, the initialization and configuration is
skipped; the port is just opened. Following this, if standard input is
a tty, picocom sets the tty to raw mode. Then it goes in a loop where
it listens for input from stdin, or from the serial port. Input from
the serial port is copied to the standard output while input from the
standard input is copied to the serial port. Picocom also scans its
input stream for a user-specified control character, called the
_escape character_ (being by default **C-a**). If the escape character
is seen, then instead of sending it to the serial-device, the program
enters "command mode" and waits for the next character (which is
called the "function character"). Depending on the value of the
function character, picocom performs one of the operations described
in the **[COMMANDS]** section below.
