# phones.5

`phones` — 远程主机电话号码数据库

## 名称

`phones`

## 描述

文件 **/etc/phones** 包含 tip(1) 程序使用的系统范围私有电话号码。此文件通常不可读，因此可能包含特权信息。该文件的格式是一系列如下形式的行：\[\ et]\*。系统名是 [remote(5)](/man/man5/remote.5.md) 文件中定义的名称之一，电话号码由任何字符序列构成，仅由 `,` 或行尾终止。`=` 和 `*` 字符是指示自动呼叫单元暂停并等待第二个拨号音（通过交换台时）的指示符。DF02-AC 需要 `=`，BIZCOMP 1030 需要 `*`。

每行仅允许一个电话号码。但是，如果文件中有多行包含相同的系统名，tip(1) 将尝试依次拨打每一个，直到建立连接。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://book.bsdcn.org/man/man5/phones.5.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
