Examples

Create a record with text/plain mime type and no payload.

NDEF Record TYPE 'text/plain' ID '' PAYLOAD 0 byte

Create a plain text record and add some payload.

$ ndeftool typename 'text/plain' payload 'Hello World' print
NDEF Record TYPE 'text/plain' ID '' PAYLOAD 11 byte '48656c6c6f20576f726c' ... 1 more
