12
14 isdnconf can manipulate or read the file /etc/isdn/callerid.conf as
15 well as ~/.isdn. Entries can be added or removed from these files.
16 Additionally, entries can be searched for and displayed in a way simi‐
17 lar to grep. An entry can be an own MSN ([MSN]) or a phone number
18 ([NUMBER]).
19
20 You can use this program to build your own phonebook. These files are
21 used by many of the other ISDN utilities that use phone numbers, to
22 display a number symbolically instead of as a plain number.
23
24
26 Note: use of the options -A and -D is dangerous! The complete structure
27 of the file may be changed, and all comments are removed! Make backups
28 of your data files before trying these.
29
30 COMMAND OPTIONS:
31
32 -A Add a new entry, which is read from standard input. The following
33 values are asked for (shown here with examples):
34
35 Alias: Fred
36 Number: 0815/441777
37 SI: 0
38 Zone: 4
39 Interface: -
40 Flags: I|O
41 Program: /usr/local/bin/ring
42 User: uucp
43 Group: user
44 Interval:
45 Time: 8-20
46 Flags: (control-D here indicates end of flags)
47
48 Alias: (control-D here indicates end of entries)
49
50 If you want another [Flags] entry, simply enter the data for
51 another program for this number at the point where the control-D
52 was given above.
53
54 If you want to add another number, simply enter the data for the
55 next number at the Alias prompt.
56
57 You can also pipe the data into the program; the input data must
58 correspond to the prompts that the program gives! Note that you can
59 only add one number at a time then (there's no way of telling isd‐
60 nconf that you want to stop giving Flags info and start giving the
61 next Alias info).
62
63
64
65 -D Delete one or more entries which match the data options given. How
66 to supply the data to match is discussed below (see DATA OPTIONS).
67
68
69 -V version: display the program's version and terminate.
70
71
72 If both -A and -D are given together, isdnconf will terminate, as this
73 is not a valid combination.
74
75 If neither -A nor -D is given, then isdnconf will display entries which
76 match the data given.
77
78 DATA OPTIONS: (not applicable for -A)
79
80 -n 'number'
81 number: match the given number. It can contain wildcards.
82
83
84 -a 'alias'
85 alias: match the given alias name. The name can contain wildcards.
86 Note: due to a bug, use '?' instead of '-'.
87
88
89 -t 'SI'
90 SI: match the given service indicator.
91
92
93 -c 'code'
94 code: match the area code of the phone number. Only usable for dis‐
95 playing (not for -A nor -D).
96
97
98 -i ignore case for the -n and -a options.
99
100
101 -w word: the parameters for -n and -a must match the whole value, not
102 just a substring.
103 Examples (here for -n):
104
105 "*34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234
106 "34*" matches 34567, 34111 but not 1234
107 "34??" matches 3411, 3456
108 "34" matches only 34
109
110 Without the -w option, these would match:
111
112 "*34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234
113 "34*" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 34567, 34111
114 "34??" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 3411, 3456
115 "34" matches 123456, 345677, 1234, 3411, 3456, 34567
116
117
118
119 -d and: by default the values given to options -n, -a and -t will be
120 combined with a logical OR. If these should be combined with a log‐
121 ical AND (which is probably what most people expect!) you must use
122 this -d option. In this case you can only supply each of the -n,
123 -a and -t options exactly once.
124
125
126 OTHER OPTIONS:
127
128 -q quiet: when using the -A or -D commands, the output is suppressed.
129 When not using the -A or -D commands, only the alias of the match‐
130 ing number is shown, or just the number in case the alias is not
131 found.
132
133
134 -m MSN: when used in combination with the -A command, instructs isd‐
135 nconf to create a new MSN entry; the default is to create a new
136 NUMBER entry. Only the values alias, number, SI, zone and interface
137 are applicable to an MSN entry.
138
139
140 The following two options do not apply to the -A and -D commands. They
141 only change the output format.
142
143
144 -s short: only display the alias and the number.
145
146
147 -l long: also display the programs to run ([START]).
148
149
150 -f 'filename'
151 file: usually isdnconf uses the /etc/isdn/callerid.conf and the
152 ~/.isdn files. If isdnconf should be applied to another file, use
153 this option.
154
155
156 -g global: only applies to the -A and -D commands. Instead of editing
157 ~/.isdn, /etc/isdn/callerid.conf is edited.
158
159
160 -1 first: only delete or display the first entry.
161
162
163 -M isdnmon: used internally by isdnmon to get alias info.
