NAME
       admslipdial - manage slipdialinfo database

SYNOPSIS
       admslipdial -o add -s 'send-expect-string' dialsystem

       admslipdial -o modify [ -n newdialsystem ] [ -s 'send-expect-string'
       ] dialsystem

       admslipdial -o delete dialsystem

       admslipdial -o list [ -qv ] [ dialsystem ... ]

   where:
       send-expect-string
                   A white-space delimited series of strings that are sent
                   to the modem (port) and received in response
       dialsystem  The name of an entry in the slipdialinfo database
       newdialsystem
                   The new name to assign to an entry in the slipdialinfo
                   database

DESCRIPTION
       Admslipdial manages the /etc/slipdialinfo database.  This database
       contains the SLIP send-expect dialstrings utilized by slipd(1C).

   Operations
       add    Create a new slipdialinfo entry.

       modify Change an existing slipdialinfo entry.

       delete Remove an entry from the slipdialinfo database.

       list   List one or more entries from the slipdialinfo database.
              Information is listed about each of the dialsystems given; if
              dialsystem is unspecified, information about all entries are
              listed.

   Options
       -s send-expect-string
              Specify strings to be sent to the modem (port) and received in
              response to establish a remote asynchronous connection.  send-
              expect-string must be enclosed in single quote marks ('') to
              avoid special shell interpretation.

       -n newdialsystem
              Specify the new dialsystem name to assign to an existing
              slipdialinfo entry.

       -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 send-
       expect-strings for each dialsystem name.  Comments contained in the
       /etc/slipdialinfo 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:

                         dialsystem    send-expect-string

EXAMPLES
       To add dial-out/initialization information for a user named Smith:

       admslipdial -o add -s \
       'ATDT1234 CON \r gin: name word: pswd $ exec\sslipd SLIP' smith

       To change the dialsystem name from smith to jones:

       admslipdial -o modify -n jones smith

FILES
       /etc/slipdialinfo  Local SLIP dialer database file.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
       None.

   Errors
       ·    The add operation is requested, and dialsystem already exists in
            the slipdialinfo database.

       ·    The delete or modify operation is requested, and dialsystem does
            not exist in the slipdialinfo database.

   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 slipdialinfo 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.
