       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.

   Exit Codes
       0      The operation was successful.

       1      The operation was unsuccessful.

       2      The operation failed due to access restrictions.

       3      There was an error in the command line.

NOTES
       You must have write permission to the /etc/slipusers database to use
       the add, delete, and modify operations.  Usually, only a user with
       the appropriate privilege has such permission.  For systems
       supporting the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege is
       defined as having one or more specific capabilities enabled in the
       effective capability set of the user.  See capdefaults(5) for the
       default capabilities for this command.

       On systems without the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege
       means that your process has an effective UID of root. See the
       appropriateprivilege(5) man page for more information.
