+The serial port (like /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux or COM3 on windows) is
+specified using the mandatory
+.B dev 
+parameter. The adapter type is selectable between SI-Prog (used for
+SPI devices with PonyProg 2000) or a custom made serial bitbanging programmer
+named "serbang". The optional
+.B type 
+parameter accepts the values "si_prog" (default) or "serbang".
