DAR_SLAVE(1)		     General Commands Manual		    DAR_SLAVE(1)

NAME
     dar_slave - disk archive slave for remote access to a dar archive

SYNOPSIS
     dar_slave [options] [<path>/]source

     dar_slave -h

     dar_slave -V

DESCRIPTION
     dar_slave	reads  an  archive and listens for dar orders on standard input,
     sending asked parts of the archive on standard output.

     Source is the basename of the archive to read. By default,  dar_slave  uses
     standard  input  and output to communicate with a dar process, which may be
     running on the local host or on a remote host. It is possible to change the
     behavior of dar_slave to use named pipe instead of standard input and  out-
     put

OPTIONS
     -h 		 Displays help usage.

     -V 		 Displays version information.

     -i <filename>	 reads	the  orders from the named file instead of stan-
			 dard input. In most cases the filename will be a  named
			 pipe.

     -o <filename>	 sends	the data to the named file <filename> instead of
			 standard output. In most cases the filename will  be  a
			 named pipe.

     -E <string>	 string  is a command to be launched between slices. See
			 dar(1) man page (same option) for more information.

     -Q 		 Do not display any message on stderr when not	launched
			 from  a  terminal (for example when launched from an at
			 job or crontab). Remains that any question to the  user
			 will  be  assumed a 'no' answer, which most of the time
			 will abort the program.

     -9 <num>		 Defines the minimum number of digits to use for archive
			 slice numbers. See the same option in dar man page  for
			 more details.

EXIT CODES
     dar_slaves exists with the same codes as dar does, see dar(1) man page.

SIGNALS
     Any  signal  sent to dar_slave will abort the program immediately, there is
     no way to have a proper termination before the end of the process
