DIALTEST

NAME

dialtest - Hyla FAX dial string processing rules test program

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/dialtest [ options ] dialrules

DESCRIPTION

dialtest is an interactive program for the testing and development of dial string processing rules used by Hyla FAX . dialtest reads the file of rules specified on the command line and then prompts for a dial string. For each string typed in, dialtest prints the result of applying the canonicalization and dial-string preparation rule sets. A rule set whose name is setname can be specified by typing ‘‘setname(string)’’; for example, ‘‘CanonicalName(+1.415.965.7824)’’.

Note that dialtest reads the rules file only when it is initially started up. This means that dialtest must be restarted for it to apply changes to a rules file.

OPTIONS

	-a code		Use code as the value of AreaCode in the rules file. The default area code is ‘‘415’’.
	-c code		Use code as the value of CountryCode in the rules file. The default country code is ‘‘1’’.

-i prefix

Use prefix as the value of InternationalPrefix in the rules file. The default international dialing prefix is ‘‘011’’.

-l prefix

Use prefix as the value of LongDistancePrefix in the rules file. The default long distance dialing prefix is ‘‘1’’.

	-q		Be quiet, suppressing most all output except for the actual results. This is useful for using dialtest in an automated fashion.
	-v		Print each input line before displaying the results of applying the dial string rules to the input string. This can be useful, for example, in shell scripts.
