NAME

	dial – connect to a remote service

SYNOPSIS

	aux/dial [–e] [ –o msg ]... addr [ cmd [ args ]... ]

DESCRIPTION

Dial connects to the remote network address addr (see dial(2)) and if no cmd is specified, copies data from the connection to standard output, and from standard input to the network connection. By default, dial exits when end of file is reached on standard input or on the network connection. The –e flag causes dial to exit only in response to end of file on the network connection. If cmd is given, then cmd is executed with standard input and output connected to the network connection. The –o option cause protocol–specific control messages to be written to the control file of the network connection (see ip(3)). It can be specified multiple times.
