man dialtest (Administration système) - dial string processing rules test program

NAME

dialtest - 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 . 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.
