* NAME: chatchat.c
*
* DESCRIPTION:
*
* This program creates a pipe for the chat process to read. The user
* can supply information (like a password) that will be picked up
* by chat and sent just like the regular contents of a chat script.
*
* Usage is:
*
* chatchat <filename>
*
*   where <filename> matches the option given in the chat script.
*
* for instance the chat script fragment:
*
*       ...
*        name:           \\dmyname  \
*        word:           @/var/tmp/p \
*       ...
*                                   ^
*                    (note: leave some whitespace after the filename)
*
* expect "name:", reply with a delay followed by "myname"
* expect "word:", reply with the data read from the pipe /var/tmp/p 
*
* the matching usage of chatchat would be:
*
* chatchat /var/tmp/p
*
* eg:
*
* $chatchat /var/tmp/p
* ...
*                           some other process eventually starts:
*                           chat ...
*                           chat parses the "@/var/tmp/p" option and opens
*                              /var/tmp/p
*  (chatchat prompts:)
*
* type PIN into SecurID card
*   enter resulting passcode: [user inputs something]
*
*                           chat reads /var/tmp/p & gets what the
*                              user typed at chatchat's "enter string" prompt
*                           chat removes the pipe file
*                           chat sends the user's input as a response in
*                              place of "@/var/tmp/p"
*                             
* PROCESS:
*
* gcc -g -o chatchat chatchat.c

* GLOBALS: none

* see the man pages and documentation that come with the 'chat' program
* (part of the ppp package). you will need to use the modified chat
* program that accepts the '@' operator.
