NAME¶
dar_slave - disk archive slave for remote access to a dar archive
SYNOPSIS¶
dar_slave [options] [<path>/]source
dar_slave -h
dar_slave -V
DESCRIPTION¶
dar_slave reads an archive and listens for
dar orders on standard
input, sending asked parts of the archive on standard output.
Source is the basename of the archive to read. By default,
dar_slave uses
standard input and output to communicate with a
dar process, which may
be running on the local host or on a remote host. It is possible to change the
behavior of
dar_slave to use named pipe instead of standard input and
output
OPTIONS¶
- -h
- Displays help usage.
- -V
- Displays version information.
- -i <filename>
- reads the orders from the named file instead of standard
input. In most cases the filename will be a named pipe.
- -o <filename>
- sends the data to the named file <filename> instead
of standard output. In most cases the filename will be a named pipe.
- -E <string>
- string is a command to be launched between slices. See
dar(1) man page (same option) for more information.
- -Q
- Do not display any message on stderr when not launched from
a terminal (for example when launched from an at job or crontab). Remains
that any question to the user will be assumed a 'no' answer, which most of
the time will abort the program.
- -j
- when virtual memory is exhausted, as user to make room
before trying to continue. By default, when memory is exhausted dar
aborts.
- -; <num>
- Defines the minimum number of digits to use for archive
slice numbers. See the same option in dar man page for more details.
