+.TH pattest 8 "2008-01-08" 
+.SH NAME 
+pattest \(em Tests a Pattern for a DAHDI Clear Channel Test
+.SH SYNOPSIS 
+.B pattest 
+.I dahdi-device
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION 
+.B pattest
+Recieves test data from a DAHDI channel and checks if it matches the 
+test pattern. The channel should be of CLEAR signalling (e.g: B channel 
+of a PRI line). patgen(8) is used to generate the data at the other side.  
+
+.B pattest
+Must be able to read from the channel. Hence this cannot be used for a
+channel used by Asterisk.
+
+The pattern is a simple series of values from 0 to 255. Hence it takes
+at most one sample to get in sync with the other side. If there is no
+output, all is well. Output is an error message.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I dahdi-device
+.RS
+A DAHDI device file.
+.RE
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+  pattest /dev/dahdi/5
+
+.SH BUGS
+Will not work with channels whose number > 249 as they don't have device
+files. For a simple workaround, see dahdi_diag.c .
+
+Gives way too many errors when does not get any input.
+
+.SH SEE ALSO 
+patgen(8), dahdi_cfg(8), asterisk(8).
