Add send/get raw command

[PianetaRadio]

Add in the library functions to send/get raw command to the connected radio, something like the -w -W command in rigctl utility.
It will be useful for debug, specific commands or user's macro.

Already there -- the w will time out but the W command takes a length argument which works for fixed length commands
Could also make W accept a terminator char instead of a length if needed. Some commands are variable length responses.
Rig command: W ID; 6

Can also do hexadecimal

Rig command: W \0x49\0x44\0x3b 6

I guess you mean adding a function in rig.h to do this.
Sounds reasonable
Proposed call
int rig_send_raw(rig, unsigned char *send, int send_len, unsigned char *reply, int reply_len, unsigned char term);
send contains the raw command data
send_len is the # of bytes to send
If reply is NULL no answer is expected
reply should be as long as need for any reply
term is the command termination char -- could be semicolon, CR, or 0xfd for Icom rigs

Yes, I mean into rig.h
Your proposal is good.

I'm studying the code to help you in adding this function, but I'm not able to know enough the rig.h and rig.c to write a working code. Sorry.

I theorized the logic flow:

fout = port from rig caps
returnLen = fprintf (fout, send)
if returnLen != send_len return ERROR else return RIG_OK
if (reply != NULL) read(fout, reply)
...

Try the latest...function is in there now.
