NAME
link - communication link handler
SYNOPSIS
link [-l line] [-m] [-px]
DESCRIPTION
link
is the PARASITE communication link protocol program that runs on the
host system.
link
allows a program on a satellite to open, close, read, write, lseek,
and use the stdio routines to communicate with files on the host
computer. The default communication line is
!/dev/pk_satX
, although this default is rarely used.
Most users will never explicitly invoke
link.
It is run automatically by
hcu(1F).
However, before running any satellite program that will access files
on the host, link must be invoked by the user.
