NAME

    @{b}Offline@{ub} - Instruct a SANA-II Device to go Offline

SYNOPSIS

    Offline DEVICE/A UNIT/A

DESCRIPTION

    The @{b}Offline@{ub} program sends an OFFLINE command to the specified SANA-II
    device. A SANA-II device must be put offline before it can be restarted,
    or the INet stack terminated.

    The @{b}Offline@{ub} program first tries to open DEVICE as specified by the
    user. If that fails, @{b}Offline@{ub} then tries to open DEVICE with the name
    prefixed by "DEVS:Networks".

    The @{b}Offline@{ub} program opens the DEVICE in promiscuous mode.

EXAMPLE

    The command:

	offline slip.device 0

    will send the SANA-II OFFLINE command to slip.device, unit 0; if the
    device can be opened.

DIAGNOSTICS

    If @{b}Offline@{ub} experiences an error, the return value is set to 20. If
    the error is a SANA-II error, then the SANA-II error numbers are
    displayed in the Shell window.

    If @{b}Offline@{ub} succeeds, the return value is set to zero (0).
