DAHDI_CFG(8)

💖 DAHDI_CFG — the dahdi_cfg(8) page, bestie edition 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 8 of the manual — this is dahdi_cfg, and she is literally the moment. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dahdi_cfg — configures DAHDI kernel modules from /etc/dahdi/system.conf 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dahdi_cfg [-c CFG_FILE] [-SNUM [-SCHANS]] [-s] [-f] [-t] [-v [-v ... ] ]

dahdi_cfg -h

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she do? dahdi_cfg configures DAHDI interface cards from a config file. that's the whole vibe 💅

you generally need to run it with a valid configurations in order for DAHDI modules to work properly. like, no cap — the modules are NOT gonna behave unless you feed them a valid config first. it's giving "feed me or I will simply not function" 😭

also, it must be run to configure every DAHDI span. no skipping, no shortcuts, every single one. normally it gets run from the DAHDI init script, so most of the time you're not even typing this yourself — the script is doing it for you, main character behaviour 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -c CFG_FILE — use an alternative configuration file instead of /etc/dahdi/system.conf. and if CFG_FILE is -, it is read from stdin — yes, you can pipe it in, iconic ✨
• -C CHANNELS — only apply changes to channels in the specified range. only applicable when -S is in use. so don't come at her with -C alone, she will simply not care 🙈
• -s — only shutdown spans. that's it. bye spans 💀
• -S SPAN — only apply changes to span no. SPAN. and listen: you also need to specify the range of channels in the span explicitly with -C. they come as a duo, fr fr 🫶
• -f — always configure every channel, even if it appears not to have changed. stubborn queen behaviour, we love her
• -t — test mode. don't do anything, just report what you wanted to do. purely hypothetical, zero commitment, she's just talking 🧚
• -v — be more verbose. and the way that you can add extra v-s for extra verbosity?? -vvvv if you're feeling unhinged 🌈
• -h — display a brief help message. short, sweet, helpful 💖

✨ FILES ✨

• /etc/dahdi/system.conf — the default location for the configuration file. that's home base 🏠
