The
utility starts a terminal session on a remote host
host
The standard Berkeley
rhosts
authorization mechanism is used.
The following options are available:
-4
Use IPv4 addresses only.
-6
Use IPv6 addresses only.
-8
Allow an eight-bit input data path at all times; otherwise
parity bits are stripped except when the remote side's stop and start
characters are other than
^S/^Q.
-D
Set the TCP_NODELAY socket option which can improve interactive response
at the expense of increased network load.
-E
Stop any character from being recognized as an escape character.
When used with the
-8
option, this provides a completely transparent connection.
-d
Turn on socket debugging (see
setsockopt(2))
on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
-e
Allow user specification of the escape character, which is
``~''
by default.
This specification may be as a literal character, or as an octal
value in the form \nnn.
-i
Allow the caller to specify a different local name to be used
for authentication.
This option is restricted to processes with uid 0.
-l
Specify a different
username
for the remote login.
If this option is not specified, your local username will be used.
A line of the form
``Ao escape char Ac .
''
disconnects from the remote host.
Similarly, the line
``Ao escape char Ac ^Z
''
will suspend the
session, and
``Ao escape char Ac Ao delayed-suspend char Ac suspends the
''
send portion of the
session, but allows output from the remote system.
By default, the tilde
(``~''
)
character is the escape character, and
normally control-Y
(``^Y''
)
is the delayed-suspend character.
All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays)
the
is transparent.
Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts
are handled properly.
