        !            15: DESCRIPTION
        !            16:      The _n_e_t command sends the specified _c_o_m_m_a_n_d (which should be
        !            17:      enclosed in quotes) over the network to the specified (or
        !            18:      default) remote machine.  The network will notify the user
        !            19:      when the command has been executed and will return to him
        !            20:      any output or error indication by `writing' (see _w_r_i_t_e(1))
        !            21:      to the terminal if he is still logged in, or `mailing' (see
        !            22:      _m_a_i_l(1)) otherwise.
        !            23: 
        !            24:      There are a number of options, which must precede the com-
        !            25:      mand.  Options may be specified on the command line, preced-
        !            26:      ing the command, or in a file ``.netrc'' in the user's login
        !            27:      directory.  The ``.netrc'' file is not described here.  The
        !            28:      -m option specifies the desired remote machine.  If a remote
        !            29:      machine is not specified, the default one is used.  The
        !            30:      machine name may be a one letter abbreviation or a full
        !            31:      name; upper- and lower-case distinctions are ignored.  If
        !            32:      the standard output and standard error files are to be
        !            33:      saved, the -r option returns to the originating user a file
        !            34:      (_r_e_s_p_f_i_l_e) containing the standard output and error files
        !            35:      when the command was executed on the remote machine.  If
        !            36:      this option is used, no message is written back.  The pres-
        !            37:      ence of a non-zero length _r_e_s_p_f_i_l_e indicates completion.
        !            38:      The -q option suppresses all acknowledgements unless an
        !            39:      error occurs, there is output from the command, or the exit
        !            40:      code of _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is non-zero.
        !            41: 
        !            42:      If the -l and -p options are not specified, and the login
        !            43:      name and password are not in the ``.netrc'' file, a remote
        !            44:      login name and password is prompted for on the terminal; the
        !            45:      -f flag forces login name and password prompting. A single
        !            46:      - indicates that the standard input from the local machine
        !            47:      is to be taken and transmitted to the remote machine, where
        !            48:      it will be the standard input for _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. The -n flag
        !            49:      forces all acknowledgment and output messages to be mailed
        !            50:      rather than written on the terminal.  Options do not need to
        !            51:      be separated by spaces, i.e. either ``-m C'' or ``-mC'' is
        !            52:      accepted. There are also other options intended to be used
        !            53:      by higher level application programs and shell scripts only;
        !            54:      they will not be described here.
        !            55: 
        !            56:      The net command prepares a file to be sent to the remote
        !            57:      machine and queues it in the `network queue.' _N_e_t_q (1) gives
        !            58:      information about the queues.
