[etherlab-dev] FoE Read and Write support for use of password

[Frank K. Larsen]

Dear Etherlab-dev developers

TwinCAT supports FoE write or read functions with a password argument.
The password is an unsigned long.

The Igh EtherCAT command line tool and the API does not support a password for FoE Read and Write.

'foe_write' takes exactly one argument!

ethercat foe_write [OPTIONS] <FILENAME>

Store a file on a slave via FoE.

This command requires a single slave to be selected.

Arguments:
  FILENAME can either be a path to a file, or '-'. In
           the latter case, data are read from stdin and
           the --output-file option has to be specified.

Command-specific options:
  --output-file -o <file>   Target filename on the slave.
                            If the FILENAME argument is
                            '-', this is mandatory.
                            Otherwise, the basename() of
                            FILENAME is used by default.
  --alias       -a <alias>
  --position    -p <pos>    Slave selection. See the help
                            of the 'slaves' command.

Numerical values can be specified either with decimal (no
prefix), octal (prefix '0') or hexadecimal (prefix '0x') base.
