.SH NAME
dad \- directory assistance server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
.B \*(SDdad
\%[\-d]
\%[\-p\0portno]
.in -.5i
(under /etc/rc.local)
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIdad\fR program implements a lightweight interface to the OSI
Directory Service,
termed the \*(lqdirectory assistance\*(rq protocol
(it helps other programs use the Directory,
it doesn't directly help people find things using the Directory).
.SH "DEBUG OPERATION"
If \fIdad\fR is started interactively,
or if the `\-d' switch is given,
then debug mode is entered.
In this case,
all logging activity is displayed on the user's terminal,
the logging information is more verbose,
and \fIdad\fR will terminate after it handles the first incoming connection
(this allows \fIdad\fR to be run under a debugger).
