NAME¶
isdnconf - manipulate or read ISDN phone number config files.
SYNOPSIS¶
isdnconf
DESCRIPTION¶
isdnconf can manipulate or read the file
/etc/isdn/callerid.conf
as well as
~/.isdn. Entries can be added or removed from these files.
Additionally, entries can be searched for and displayed in a way similar to
grep. An entry can be an own MSN (
[MSN]) or a phone number (
[NUMBER]).
You can use this program to build your own phonebook. These files are used by
many of the other ISDN utilities that use phone numbers, to display a number
symbolicly instead of as a plain number.
OPTIONS¶
Note: usage of the options -A and -D is dangerous! The complete structure of the
file may be changed, and all comments are removed! Make backups of your data
files before trying these.
COMMAND OPTIONS:
- -A
- Add a new entry, which is read from standard input. The
following values are asked for (here with examples):
Alias: Fred
Number: 0815/441777
SI: 0
Zone: 4
Interface: -
Flags: I|O
Program: /usr/local/bin/ring
User: uucp
Group: user
Interval:
Time: 8-20
Flags: (control-D here indicates end of flags)
Alias: (control-D here indicated end of entries)
If you want another [Flags] entry, simply enter the data for another program for
this number at the point where the control-D was given above.
If you want to add another number, simply enter the data for the next number at
the Alias prompt.
You can also pipe the data into this program; the input data then must
correspond to the prompts that the program gives! Note that you can only add
one number at a time then (there's no way of telling
isdnconf that you
want to stop giving Flags info and start giving the next Alias info).
- -D
- Delete one or more entries which match the data options
given. How to supply the data to match is discussed below (see DATA
OPTIONS).
- -V
- version: display the program's version and terminate.
If both -A and -D are given together,
isdnconf will terminate, as this is
not a valid combination.
If neither -A nor -D is given, then
isdnconf will display entries which
match the data given.
DATA OPTIONS: (none applicable for -A)
- -n 'number'
- number: match the given number. It can contain wildcards.
- -a 'alias'
- alias: match the given alias name. The name can contain
wildcards. Note: due to a bug, use '?' instead of '-'.
- -t 'SI'
- SI: match the given service indicator.
- -c 'code'
- code: match the area code of the phone number. Only usable
for displaying (not for -A nor -D).
- -i
- ignore case for the -n and -a options.
- -w
- word: the parameters for -n and -a must match the
whole value, not just a substring.
Examples (here for -n):
"*34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234
"34*" matches 34567, 34111 but not 1234
"34??" matches 3411, 3456
"34" matches only 34
Without the -w option, these would match:
"*34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234
"34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 34567, 34111
"34??" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 3411, 3456
"34" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 3411, 3456, 34567
- -d
- and: by default the values given to options -n, -a and -t
will be combined with a logical OR. If these should be combined with a
logical AND (which is probably what most people expect!) you must use this
-d option. In this case you can only supply each of the -n, -a and -t
options exactly once.
- OTHER OPTIONS:
- -q
- quiet: when using the -A or -D commands, the output is
suppressed. When not using the -A or -D commands, only the alias of the
matching number is shown, or just the number in case the alias is not
found.
- -m
- MSN: when used in combination with the -A command,
instructs isdnconf to create a new MSN entry; the default is to
create a new NUMBER entry. Only the values alias, number, SI, zone and
interface are applicable to an MSN entry.
The following two options do not apply to the -A and -D commands. They only
change the output format.
- -s
- short: only display the alias and the number.
- -l
- long: also display the programs to run ([START]).
- -f 'filename'
- file: usually isdnconf uses the
/etc/isdn/callerid.conf and the ~/.isdn files. If
isdnconf should be applied to another file, use this option.
- -g
- global: only applies to the -A and -D commands. Instead of
editing ~/.isdn, /etc/isdn/callerid.conf is edited.
- -1
- first: only delete or display the first entry.
- -M
- isdnmon: used internally by isdnmon to get alias info.
