Hello,
And thanks Martin for answering to my question.
My first problem is about the examples given for the use of tcpclient. Lets
take who@ (the others are more or less similar):
#!/bin/sh
# WARNING: This file was auto-generated. Do not edit!
/usr/local/bin/tcpclient -RHl0 -- "${1-0}" 11 \
sh -c 'exec /usr/local/bin/delcr <&6' | cat -v
After reading the man page for tcpclient, I think attentively, I couldn't
figure out at all what are the `--' standing for. So I would be very happy if
someone could explain me the `--'.
Please note that I'm a beginner in programming and also that I introduced the
`\' just in this mail to break the long line in the who@ script (although this
should be harmless also in the script)
Best regards,
Serban
