welcome to DIAL(1) from the General Commands Manual, bestie — this is the page for dial, and it's giving "connect to a remote service" energy. 🦋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dial — connect to a remote service 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dial [ -e ] addr

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so dial connects to the network address addr (see dial(3) for the address lore 👀), and then it copies data from the connection to standard output, and from standard input to the connection. literally a two-way data pipe with main character energy. 💅

By default, dial exits when end of file is reached on standard input or on the network connection. The -e flag causes dial to exit only in response to end of file on the network connection. that's the whole exit vibe check, no cap. 🎀

  • -e — causes dial to exit only in response to end of file on the network connection. 🫶

🎀 SOURCE 🎀

/src/cmd/dial.c — that's where the source lives, bestie. ✨
