HELP="Register slcan-enabled serial-to-CAN adapters as network interfaces.
Usage:
    `basename $0` [options] <tty0> [[options] <tty1> ...]

Interface indexes will be assigned automatically in ascending order, i.e., the
first device will be mapped to slcan0, second to slcan1, and so on.
Each added option affects only the interfaces that follow it,
which means that options must be properly ordered (see examples below).
This tool requires superuser priveleges.

The package 'can-utils' must be installed. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems it
can be installed via APT: apt-get install can-utils

Options:
  --speed-code <X> (where X is a number in range [0, 8]; default: 8)
  -s<X>
      Set CAN speed to:
      0 - 10  Kbps
      1 - 20  Kbps
      2 - 50  Kbps
      3 - 100 Kbps
      4 - 125 Kbps (Cyphal/CAN recommended)
      5 - 250 Kbps (Cyphal/CAN recommended)
      6 - 500 Kbps (Cyphal/CAN recommended)
      7 - 800 Kbps
      8 - 1   Mbps (Cyphal/CAN recommended, default)

  --remove-all
  -r
      Remove all SLCAN interfaces.
      If this option is used, it should be provided first, otherwise it
      will remove the interfaces added earlier.

  --basename <X> (where X is a string containing [a-z], default: slcan)
  -b<X>
      Base name to use for the interfaces that follow this option.

  --baudrate <X> (where X is an integer, default: 921600)
  -S<X>
      Configure baud rate to use on the interface.
      This option is mostly irrelevant for USB adapters.

  --silent
  -l
      Open the CAN interface in silent mode (listen-only, SLCAN command 'L\\r').

Example 1:
    `basename $0` --remove-all /dev/ttyUSB3 --basename can --baudrate 115200 \\
                     /dev/ttyUSB0 --speed-code 4 /dev/ttyACM0
The example above initializes the interfaces as follows:
    /dev/ttyUSB3  -->   slcan0     1 Mbps          baudrate 921600
    /dev/ttyUSB0  -->   can0       1 Mbps          baudrate 115200
    /dev/ttyACM0  -->   can1       125 kbps        baudrate 115200

Example 2:
    `basename $0` --remove-all
The example above only removes all SLCAN interfaces without adding new ones."

thanks ! 👍
I'll add it
