ISDNCONF(1)                 Linux System Utilities                 ISDNCONF(1)



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 simi-
       lar 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 struc-
       ture 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 dis-
           playing (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 log-
           ical 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 match-
           ing 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 isd-
           nconf 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.
