NAME
       rsattach - Start a Rose interface

SYNOPSIS
       rsattach [-i inetaddr] [-v] port

DESCRIPTION
       Rsattach  takes	many  of  the  parameters  for	the port from the rsports(5) file. The port argument is the name of a port as given in the
       rsports(5) file.

       Rsattach tries to find the free Rose device in the system. The device name checked is rose0. If no free Rose device is available  an  error
       is generated and the program terminates.

OPTIONS
       -i inetaddr     Set the internet address of the interface. This address may either be a dotted decimal address or a host name.

       -v	       Display the version.

SEE ALSO
       rose(4), rsparms(4), rsports(5), ifconfig(8).

BUGS
       The  program  can be run many times with the same arguments creating many instances of the same attributes on different devices. Not a good
       idea.
