and from standard input to the network connection.

By default, dial exits when end of file is reached on
standard input or on the network connection.
The
.B -e
flag causes dial to exit only in response to end of file on
the network connection.

If
.I cmd
is given, then
.I cmd
is executed with standard input and output connected to
the network connection.

The -o option cause protocol-specific control messages
to be written to the control file of the network connection
(see
.IR ip (3)).
It can be specified multiple times.
