9: .SH NAME
10: imisc \- miscellaneous network service \-\- initiator
11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: .in +.5i
13: .ti -.5i
14: .B imisc
15: host

19: .SH DESCRIPTION
20: The \fIimisc\fR program requests an operation from
21: the miscellaneous network service
22: provided by a server using remote operations services.
23: The currently supported operations are:
24: .sp
25: .in +.5i
26: .nf
27: .ta \w'\fIoperation\fR 'u
28: \fIoperation\fR \fIdescription\fR
29: \fButctime\fR the universal time
30: \fBgentime\fR the generalized time
31: \fBtime\fR the current time since the epoch
32: \fBusers\fR the users logged in on the system
33: \fBchargen\fR the character generation pattern
34: \fBqotd\fR the quote of the day
35: \fBfinger\fR the finger of users logged in
36: \fBpwdgen\fR some pseudo-randomly generated passwords
37: \fBtell\fR send a message to a remote user
38: \fBping\fR ping test for performance measurement
39: \fBsink\fR sink test for performance measurement
40: \fBecho\fR echo test for performance measurement
41: .re

43: .in -.5i
44: .sp
45: This program initiates remote operations to the \*(lqisode
46: miscellany\*(rq service.
47: .PP
48: The prefix arguments are used to direct how many times the performance
49: measurement tests should run:
50: the `-c\0count' switch indicates the number of iterations to try,
51: and the `-l\0length' switch indicates the number of octets to send as
52: user data for each iteration.
53: .PP
54: If no operation is given on the command line,
55: then \fIimisc\fR enters interactive mode:
56: \fIimisc\fR will examine each line of the standard\-input,
57: treating the first word as the operation, and any remaining words as
58: arguments.
59: (Currently, only the \fIfinger\fR operation takes arguments.)
60: .PP
61: The pseudo\-operations \fIhelp\fR and \fIquit\fR do the obvious things.
