phone -- Command Print numbers and addresses from phone directory phone person ... The command phone searches a number of telephone directory files for each person argument that is given. Any lines that matches any of the person arguments is printed. Typically, such lines contain the telephone number, name, and address of a person or organization. Lower-case letters in person can be matched by both the same letter and the corresponding upper- case letter in the phone directory. The user may supply his own phone directory by setting the (exported) shell variable PHONEBOOK, to the name of that file. If given, this file is searched first. Then, the system-wide phone book is always searched. Files $PHONEBOOK -- User-supplied phonebook (searched first) /usr/pub/phonebook -- System-wide phone directory See Also commands Diagnostics phone exits with non-zero status if a call fails. A diagnostic message is written to stderr if no matching entries are found. The standard phonebook shipped with COHERENT includes telephone numbers and descriptions of third-party vendors who sell software for COHERENT. If you're looking for software to run under COHERENT, check there first.
