     DIAL(1)                                                   DIAL(1)

     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 stan-
          dard 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.
