E-8 CommKit Host Interface, Release 4.0

NAME

dkcat – concatenate files and send them to a non-host AT&T data switch destination

SYNOPSIS

dkcat [–I] [–F] [–q qc,ec] destination [ files ... ]

DESCRIPTION

dkcat transmits files to a non-host destination, such as a printer, attached to your data switch network. dkcat

places a call to destination and transmits the files. dkcat waits for all file data to be received at the

destination before terminating.

The following options are supported by dkcat:

–F send a form-feed character after each file. This is the only option available for

garden-variety printers.

–I selects Imagen-specific processing.

–q qc,ec specifies a ‘‘quote character’’ qc and an ‘‘EOF character’’ ec to override the defaults

of ’155,158’. The character definitions must be in decimal format separated with a

comma, with no spaces between the definitions.

destination if the destination is not a full network address, ie. area/exchange/end-point, then

dkcat will attempt to map it to a full address using the file /etc/opt/dk/dkhosts and a

service class of ’p’ (for printer).

files standard input is read if no files are named or when a file name of – is encountered.

Multiple Interfaces

If multiple interface boards are installed on the originating host, dkcat will use the default processing to select

the interface for the out-going call. See dkdial(3X) and authorize(1M) for more information.
