     NAME
          appletalk - a general purpose AppleTalk I/O driver utility

     SYNOPSIS
          appletalk [-a] [-d] [-e] [-i] [-u] [-fnetwork] [-nxx] [-rxx]

     DESCRIPTION
          AppleTalk is a general purpose utility for starting up and
          shutting down the AppleTalk network, and for miscellaneous
          control and information reporting functions dealing with
          AppleTalk.  The following arguments are supported:

          -a      Prints out the actual AppleTalk node address. If
                  AppleTalk is not yet active on the system, zero will
                  be printed out.

          -d      Removes this node from the network. Only the super-
                  user may use this option.

          -e      Prints out statistics and error counts.

          -f      network is the network to access. If this option is
                  not present, the default /dev/appletalk is used.

          -i      Prints out the initial AppleTalk node address.

          -n xx   Sets the initial AppleTalk node address to xx.  The
                  initial AppleTalk node address is an address that
                  the AppleTalk UNIX I/O driver attempts to use first
                  when the AppleTalk network is activated. If the
                  address is already in use, then another address will
                  be randomly generated and used until a address is
                  found that is not in use.  After the AppleTalk
                  network is activated, setting this address has no
                  immediate effect, though it will be used as the next
                  initial address when and if this node is activated
                  again.

          -r xx   Sets the number of RTS attempts to xx.  If xx is not
                  present, this option will print out the number of
                  RTS attempts to make when transmitting a frame.

          -u      Starts the network up. You must be super-user to use
                  this option.

     EXAMPLE
               au -u

          will bring the default network up using its current
          configuration.
