# The dmrconf command line tool

Beside the graphical user interface provided by qdmr (see gui), there is also a command line tool allowing to read/write codeplugs from and to the radios. It is based on the same library called libdmrconf and thus provides the same features like qdmr.

This chapter will briefly describe the command line tool and how it can be used to handle codeplugs from the command line.

The command line tool might be helpful in cases, where the codeplug file (see codeplug) gets assembled by a script. Then the same script may upload the codeplug to the radio using the command line tool.

Additionally to the the features of the GUI (see gui), the command line tool provides some features to analyze the memory representation of the binary codeplugs as well as debugging their implementation.
