     L-dialcodes - UUCP phone number index file

D\bDE\bES\bSC\bCR\bRI\bIP\bPT\bTI\bIO\bON\bN
     The _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs file defines the mapping of strings from the
     phone number field of _\bL._\bs_\by_\bs(5) to actual phone numbers.

     Each line in L-dialcodes has the form:

	  alpha_string	phone_number

     The two items can be separated by any number of blanks or
     tabs. Lines beginning with a `#' character are comments.

     A phone number in _\bL._\bs_\by_\bs can be preceded by an arbitrary
     alphabetic character string; the string is matched against
     the list of _\ba_\bl_\bp_\bh_\ba__\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bgs in _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs.	If a match is
     found, _\bp_\bh_\bo_\bn_\be__\bn_\bu_\bm_\bb_\be_\br is substituted for it. If no match is
     found, the string is discarded.

     _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs is commonly used either of two ways:

     (1) The alphabetic strings are used as prefixes to denote
	 area codes, zones, and other commonly used sequences.
	 For example, if _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs included the following
	 lines:

	  chi  1312
	  mv   1415

     In _\bL._\bs_\by_\bs you could enter:

	  chivax Any ACU 1200 chi5551234  ogin:--ogin: nuucp
	  mvpyr  Any ACU 1200 mv5556001   ogin:--ogin: Uuucp

     instead of

	  chivax Any ACU 1200 13125551234  ogin:--ogin: nuucp
	  mvpyr  Any ACU 1200 14155556001  ogin:--ogin: Uuucp

     (2) All phone numbers are placed in _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs, one for
	 each remote site.  _\bL._\bs_\by_\bs then refers to these by name.
	 For example, if _\bL-_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bl_\bc_\bo_\bd_\be_\bs contains the following
	 lines:

	  chivax    13125551234
	  mvpyr     14155556601

     then _\bL._\bs_\by_\bs could have:

	  chivax Any ACU 1200 chivax  ogin:--ogin: nuucp
	  mvpyr  Any ACU 1200 mvpyr   ogin:--ogin: Uuucp
