NAME
       admslipuser - manage slipusers database

SYNOPSIS
       admslipuser -o add -f flags -r remote -h local -m netmask paramstag

       admslipuser -o modify [-f flags] [-r remote] [-h local] [-m netmask]
       paramstag

       admslipuser -o delete paramstag

       admslipuser -o list [ -qv ] [ paramstag ... ]

   where:
       flags       Slip link flags:  c, e, and r preceded by + or -
       remote      The IP address assigned to the remote host
       local       The IP address assigned to the local host
       netmask     A number specifying the network mask
       paramstag  A tag specifying an entry in the slipusers database;
                   default for the list operation is to list all entries

DESCRIPTION
       Admslipuser manages the /etc/slipusers database.  This database
       contains the SLIP initialization flags, remote IP address, local IP
       address, and the network mask used by slipd(1C).

   Operations
       add    Create a new /etc/slipusers entry.

       modify Change an existing /etc/slipusers entry.

       delete Remove an entry from the /etc/slipusers database.

       list   List one or more entries from the /etc/slipusers database.
              Information is listed about each of the paramstag given; if
              paramstag is all, information about all entries is listed.

   Options
       -f flags    Specify the SLIP link initialization parameters using
                   flag values c, e, and r to control mandatory compressed
                   headers, header compression recognition, and default
                   routing.  Prefixing the flag with + or - turns the option
                   on or off.

       -r remote   Specify the IP address assigned to the remote host.  This
                   can be expressed either as a name (found in the hosts
                   database) or as an Internet address expressed in the
                   Internet standard dot notation.

       -h local    Specify the IP address assigned to the local host.  This
                   can be expressed either as a name (found in the hosts
                   database) or as an Internet address expressed in the
                   Internet standard dot notation.

       -m netmask  Identify (using Internet standard dot notation) which
                   bits of the host's Internet address indicate the subnet
                   number.

       -q          Behave quietly, producing an unformatted listing.  Print
                   no headers and no comments, print each entry on a
                   separate line, and delimit fields within an entry with a
                   single space character.

       -v          Behave verbosely, producing a formatted listing with
                   headers and aligned columns.  This is the default.

   Output
       The list operation writes its output to stdout.

       The verbose form of the list operation outputs a header and the link
       parameters for each paramstag name.  Comments contained in the
       /etc/slipusers database are suppressed.  Information is printed in
       aligned columns with column headers.

       If -q option is specified with the list operation, headers and
       comments are suppressed and each entry is printed on a separate line.
       The fields within the entry are delimited by a single space, and are
       in the following order:

                   paramstag   flags   remote   local   netmask

EXAMPLES
       To add and then modify an entry granting access to a user named
       Smith:

       admslipuser -o add -f +c-e-r -r sl-rem -h sl-loc -m 255.255.255.0 smith

       admslipuser -o modify -f -c-e-r smith

FILES
       /etc/slipusers   Local SLIP link parameters database file

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
       None.

   Errors
       ⊕      The add operation is requested, and params_tag already exists
              in the /etc/slipusers database.

       ⊕      The delete or modify operation is requested, and paramstag
              does not exist in the /etc/slipusers database.

       ⊕      The IP address is invalid.

       ⊕      The network mask is invalid.
