NAME
       dar_slave - disk archive slave for remote access to a dar archive

SYNOPSIS
       dar_slave [options] [<path>/]source

       dar_slave -h

       dar_slave -V

DESCRIPTION
       dar_slave reads an archive and listens for dar orders on standard input, sending asked parts of the archive on standard output.

       Source  is  the	basename  of  the archive to read. By default, dar_slave uses standard input and output to communicate with a dar process,
       which may be running on the local host or on a remote host. It is possible to change the behavior of dar_slave to use named pipe instead of
       standard input and output

OPTIONS
       -h		   Displays help usage.

       -V		   Displays version information.

       -i <filename>	   reads the orders from the named file instead of standard input. In most cases the filename will be a named pipe.

       -o <filename>	   sends  the  data  to  the  named file <filename> instead of standard output. In most cases the filename will be a named
			   pipe.

       -E <string>	   string is a command to be launched between slices. See dar(1) man page (same option) for more information.

       -Q		   Do not display any message on stderr when not launched from a terminal (for example when launched from  an  at  job	or
			   crontab).  Remains  that  any question to the user will be assumed a 'no' answer, which most of the time will abort the
			   program.

       -j		   when virtual memory is exhausted, as user to make room before trying to continue. By default, when memory is  exhausted
			   dar aborts.

       -; <num> 	   Defines  the  minimum  number  of digits to use for archive slice numbers. See the same option in dar man page for more
			   details.

EXIT CODES
       dar_slaves exists with the same codes as dar does, see dar(1) man page.

SIGNALS
       Any signal sent to dar_slave will abort the program immediately, there is no way to have a proper termination before the end of the process
