L-dialcodes(5)

Name

L-dialcodes − dial code abbreviations

Syntax

/usr/lib/uucp/L.dialcodes

Description

The uucp utility uses the L-dialcodes file.  The file contains the dialcodes used in the L.sys() file (for example, nh, which stands for New Hampshire). The entry format, with the fields separated by blanks or tabs, is:

abb dial-seq

abbThe abbreviation used in the L.sys() file.

dial-seqThe dial sequence to call that location. 

Examples

The following entry in the L-dialcodes file would force any L.sys file entry that used the prefix “nh” in the phone field to send 603 to the dial unit before the rest of the phone number is dialed:

nh 603
