-@brief      TMTC Commander entry point for command line mode.
-@details
-This client was developed by KSat for the SOURCE project to test the on-board software but
-has evolved into a more generic tool for satellite developers to perform TMTC (Telemetry and Telecommand)
-handling and testing via different communication interfaces. Currently, only the PUS standard is
-implemented as a packet standard.
