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 output

OPTIONS

       -h                  Displays help usage.

       -V                  Displays version information.

       -i <filename>       reads the orders from the named file instead of standard 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.

       -j                  when  virtual memory is exhausted, as user to make room before trying to continue. By
                           default, when memory is exhausted dar aborts.

       -; <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
